The config.lua files in the main directory of Tropico 3 has a bunch of goodie settings that are uneditable due to compression. Using this application, you can see what is in there and change it as you see fit.
Note: The config.lua file does not have to be compressed for Tropico 3 to read it. In fact, you don't even have to decompress it to modify it. Just clear the file out and put whatever commands you need in there, one per line.
Basic Usage:
Simply select the config.lua (if it didn't find it for you automatically), click on "Open with Notepad," and modify to your fancy. Save changes in Notepad and close Decompress Config. Start Tropico 3 and the changes should take immediate effect.
Enable Windowed Mode:
Command List:
Virtually all are untested--use at your own peril. I bolded the commands that are the most useful:
Command|Description
config.Align
config.AssertMessage
config.AsyncHandles
config.AutoOptions
config.ColorBits|32 is default
config.CrashURL
config.CursorClipping
config.DepthBits|24 is default
config.Developer
config.FmodMemory|10485760 is default
config.Frequency|Untested. Change the vertical refresh rate in hertz.
config.HandlePoolSize
config.Height|Appears not to work.
config.IsFullscreen |1 for fullscreen, 0 for windowed.
config.LuaErrorMessage
config.MainMenu|1 is default
config.MapSlotReserveSize|12 is default

Enable Windowed Mode:
To enable windowed mode:
1) Download Decompress Config.
2) Extract Decompress Config somewhere you can find it.
3) Run Decompress Config.
4) If the Location isn't showing the full path to config.lua, click the ... button and browse for the location. It will be the same location as Tropico3.exe.
5) Click on Open with Notepad. Notepad should open up with a bunch of lines starting with config.
6) Find the line that says config.IsFullscreen = 1 and change that 1 to a 0 (that's zero, not "O").
7) Change the resolution from inside the game settings.
