I tried deselecting the option on the Cosmos patcher and that did not work. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and that didn't work. How might I remove the Run in Windowed Mode?
Thanks,
Great work all.

The exact same thing is happening to me. I even looked in the registry but no matter what option I select the game will no leave windowed mode.
NOTE: Not a part of the Cosmos team.
Windowed mode is "started" by giving a command line parameter to WoW*****, but it gets saved in WoWs configuration file.
Basically, follow these instructions : Go into your "WoW" directory.
Rerun Cosmos, and make sure that windowed mode is unchecked.
Go to the "WTF" directory, and open up "Config.wtf" in your favorite text editor (note: stay away from editors that change the file type of the file you're editing).
Look for a line that looks like this : SET gxWindow "1"
Change that line to look like this : SET gxWindow "0"
Save the file.
Rerun Cosmos, and launch WoW.
Hopefully you're no longer in Windowed mode.
I hope this helps!

I to am stuck in windowed mode. However when I went to alter the Config.WTF file, I was unable to open it. Happen to know of a text editor that I can download. Thanks in advance
