-w switch gives you a 1024x768 sized window on the desktop where the game runs. Either you put the switch in the wrong place or there is something funky going on with your computer.

I'd like to see a screenshot of your desktop (1900x400).

ORIGINAL: jomni

Let me get this straight.  Adding -w didn't work on my end.  That's because my screen resolution is 1900x400 and not 1024x768.
The game forces the resize so there's not windowed effect?

you need to make sure the property is pointing to the "War in the Pacific Admirals Edition" application/exe and NOT pointing to the Autorun application/exe. The install defaults to pointing to the Autorun and it does NOT understand the -w switch or any other switches.
