Sphere Generator Bug???

I'm trying to get the Sphere from Dungeon Despise, but cannot go through the moon gates. I have played this game around 15-16 times since it's original DOS release and not had this problem - until the Exult version - which by the way is absolutely superb! Well done lads. Wish you'd done it years ago...
I get through the first red moongate, then I can't go any further. Any ideas?
My system is:
Pentium 4 1.5ghz
256MB RB RAM
30GHz ATA-100 HDD
SoundBlaster Live! SoundCard
Riva TNT2 32Mb APG Video Card
Windows 98SE
All latest Drivers for all components, including
Windows have been installed.
Exult 0.96 Beta 1

You're the second person who's had this problem. The previous sent in a savegame, and it seemed like the moongates inside the sphere were messed up. I managed to fix them and send back the savegame.
What I'm wondering is how they got corrupted. It hasn't happened when I've played through that part of the game. What version of U7 do you have?

I'm using the version from the Complete Ultima VII package (though I own a copy of every English version ever released - can you believe it?)

Also, aside from this problem, I've experienced no crashes or other "weird" things happening. The rest of the game works brilliantly. The only exception was the Flying Carpet bug, which I reported about a week ago.

The ol' sphere generator. When i was playing the orriginal i used a sleep field on the red moongate before the generator and "slept" my way past the red moongate
I paid dearly for that mistake the time lord started talking to me when i hadnt even _been_ to the imps.

Imps? Do you mean Wisps?
Been to the Wisps, spoken to Trelleck, Saraleck etc got permission, been bak to New magencia (and found Alagner dead - as expected)
The sleep option sounds good though - any other "side effects"?

Afraid I just tried this, and without luck.
The Sleep spell resulted in a cloud of smoke going up on screen, indicating the spell didn't work, and the Sleep Field spell did nothing at all - not an X to indicate lack of reagents, mana etc, just nothing.
Thanks again for your ideas - got any more I can try?
BTW, Happy New Year to you, and to all you Ultima Fans out there!!! Let's all hope its much better than 2001 turned out to be....
