Method 1

Playing the game in full screen windowed mode allows you to easily change GTA's window to another one, so you can get music/video links or check this forum whitout needing to wait the game to load everytime.

1. Download the free app "Windowed Borderless Gaming" (http://westechsolutions.net/sites/WindowedBorderlessGaming/download)

2. Execute the app

3. Open the server, press alt+enter to put it in windowed mode

4. Press F3

5. Test it by pressing alt+tab to switch windows





Method 2

Windowed Mode plugin (for GTA3, VC, SA) : "Download" (https://github.com/ThirteenAG/III.VC.SA.WindowedMode/releases/tag/v1.6)
