You just have to select configure in the main playonlinux gui, then select the wineprefix with the game in it when the configuration window loads. Then in the configuration window choose the wine tab and select 'configure wine', which will launch the familiar winecfg. In that wine configuration menu, go to the graphics tab and choose 'emulate a virtual desktop' and select the resolution you require and apply the settings. Very often you can choose a windowed option in the game itself rather than using the wine virtual desktop. All the menus and windows I refer to in the first paragraph above are shown in the screenshot below, where I show how to configure a virtual desktop for a playonlinux application. For more information, please refer to the documentation at the, and if you wish to backup your game and its settings in the playonlinux wineprefix, see.
If you want to play a DOS game, or a game with a DOS version, DOSBox is your first choice as it ships with all the functionality you need for that. If not, then you need something different. If you are running Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate or Enterprise, you can make use of Windows XP Mode to run games in a window on your system. Only happens in Windowed Mode Full Screen and We go to another monitor to use another program. This thread is locked.
