I have just bought Populous II and Terminator 2029 and am having problems
with both of them.  With Populous II, I get the intro screen fine, and 
parts of the next few screens, but not all of any screen.  If I press on,
the game then locks up.  With T2029, I just get a screen full of colored 
dots and the music.  
  I have checked the memory requirements for both of them and have my 
system set up correctly.  Also, I tries both these games on a friend's 
machine and they work fine.
  I have a 486 dx2 eisa, 66MHz, with a diamond speedstar 24x svga card, 
and a sound blaster pro audio card.
  I would appreciate any suggestions any of you can think of for me to
try.
  I have already tried calling the company's customer service people, but
have not yet managed to get through to them.
  Thanks,

  Edward Burr
