Superpaint 2.0 does in fact work with 32 bit QD.  You do, however, have to read
the manual, and then set the preference that says something like:

	Use Quickdraw calls to do drawing

I can't remeber the exact wording, but this preference was put in to allow
24 bit graphic devices that weren't compatible with Silicon Beach's high speed
methods of rendering.  If you boot your system without 32 bit QD, and then
set that preference, then reboot WITH 32 bit QD, you will have solved that
problem at least.
