I'm pretty sure in properties thereis a 'run in windowed mode' tickbox
if not the this may work:

Find the shortcut for the rome version you want to play in windowed mode instead of full screen.
Right click on the shortcut, select Properties.
In the Target field add: -window at the end.
Click OK.

Try asking in the technical help section. Might yield some better results.

Moved from GD to Tech.

This sucks no help

is it a problem with the game or the computer because if that's the case i will just buy a new game

I doubt it's the game's fault. Do you know anyone that you could borrow a "generic" wired Microsoft mouse from to test it?

This should be moved, and I'm sorry to say it, but you're wrong The High King of Ireland.

Open Steam, and go to your library.
Right click on RTW in the list, and select properties.
Click on "Set launch options".
Enter "-ne" without the quotations, and save.

You should now be able to launch RTW in window mode.
