Graphics Problem - Windows 7
This information is for users not using the GOG executable
Many users using Windows 7 may experience a problem whereby colours are not right. This can be solved by stopping the process explorer.exe (this is a windows process, so make sure you know how to restart it for when your finished playing) and rerunning POTB.exe.
This can also be solved by installing the version of Populous: The Beginning from popre.net and replacing your current installation
