So I had the novel idea to do a live Let's Play of Thief: Gold for some acquaintances of mine last night. With some fiddling and persistence I was able to get D3DWindower to work, and livestream the game. Unfortunately, I had to do it in Software Mode, because Hardware caused a lot of graphical errors (which usually don't appear in fullscreen).
I looked up and down (

I'm running the game on Vista. It works fine in fullscreen (although I have to run it from a command prompt shortcut so as to set the CPU affinity). My graphics card is an nVidia 8800 GT, CPU is a 4-core 2.4ghz Pentium. Not sure if this makes a difference. Like I said, the game runs great until I put it into Windowed mode (even then, it still works pretty well).
Thanks for your help in advance, even if we can't figure out the issue.
Edit: After several hours of fooling with hook.ini, and giving up on that, I stumbled upon ddfix and installed it. That mostly solved my problem. Now the game appears in the upper left of the screen in a non-movable window, but that's serviceable. Only real problem remaining is that I can't change the gamma in game.
