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.
