Trouble running Populous 2 under Win2k

Found the old game Populous 2 that I used to love but can't get it to run under Win2k. I've tried setting the memory parameters like the included pdf manual states but still no go. Anyone out there been able to get Pop2 running in Win2k or NT4?.

I actually had no luck running this game under Win95 (No sound)or on anything faster than a 486 (ran to fast to play).

Umm... Trust me don't run Populous 2 on anything faster than a 286, it'll be inpossible to play. And she's a DOS game, so that's a no no in win2k, I usually have just the DOS portion of Win98 installed on my hard drive for DOS games. Ed, how did you get it to run on a 486? My 486 DX-33 was way to fast for it, in DOS and Win95.
