- I haven't tried Jason's first solution but the second solution is exactly what
- it took to get the CU Amiga coverdisk version of Imagine 3.0 to work for me.
-
- Once the system reboots, I have to go into prefs and set my screen mode to PAL
- in order to get it all to fit on my screen (and I have to adjust the height on
- the back of my monitor because the bottom of the screen disappears).
-
- Once you get it working, it's well worth it.
