Just installed Populous: The Beginning. The options that come up is a launch screen with a list of available resolutions with "Hardware" and "software" settings. I tried selecting several to no avail. It then says "Save settings" and "Launch Populous: The Beginning". I select the launch button but nothing ever happens past that.

Any ideas anyone?

Start from the beginning, what OS are you using?

he runs win 8 , he has already posted in the game subforum ;)

Because of the broad powers available to the player in Populous, and other God games, launching the game requires a UN resolution. Good luck getting that through the Security Council...
