im running it on mac osx snow leopard 10.6 by the way

source games it is -windowed but for this try doing Program Files->Run Command->EXE of game in drive c then add a space after the quotes and added -windowed or -window and see if that works like below:

example version:

"/Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/Crossover Games/bottles/BottleName/drivec/Program Files/GameName/GameName.exe" -windowed

It should be something like that

If the game has support for windowed mode, it should work. However, if there are graphical glitches preventing you from accessing the in-game options, that can be a problem. There might be a text configuration file among the game's files that you can modify.

You can also configure your CrossOver bottle to run within a virtual desktop window. CrossOver's menu > Configure > Manage Bottles > select the bottle > Control Panel > launch winecfg > Graphics > enable Emulate a virtual desktop. With that enabled, all programs within that bottle will run inside a window.

Lastly, if a Windows program leaves CrossOver "stuck" in full-screen mode, you can force it out using the keyboard shortcut for the Restore Display item of the Window menu: Command-Option-R. That will produce a result kind of like what you were seeing when you used Command-Q, but CrossOver won't proceed to quit.
