You might be able to run it at that size through the use of command line arguments, but I've never tried it.

Running it with the "/win" argument (like Zerted mentioned above) should run it in those dimensions.

sorta on/off topic: How can you run SWBF2 in a window? The version picker app that someone made(not sure who) doesnt work on my computer, and its the onlything that I have seen that lets you do it?

You run BattlefrontII.exe with the parameter "/win". If you want to have it readily accessible, create a shortcut to the executable and then edit the shortcut's target by adding the parameter (/win) after the last quotation mark.

so if i right click the shortcut and go under properties, the value for Target should read like this?:

"C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront II\GameData\BattlefrontII.exe"/win 1440x 900

if that is the resolution of the window size i want?

-nointro command line parameter

-nointro comes in handy since it skips the introduction screens

Where did you get the idea that you could choose the size? (The answer to your posted question is "no, just put in /win")

Here is a list of command line parameters for SWBF1. I don't know how many work in SWBF2:

BF2_Modtools.exe (comes with the mod tools) can play singleplayer BF2 from a window.

Lol, I'm not sure. You can either go to options, or download a tool that once saw. (Hmmm, I might be seing things, anyway look around)
