Never mind...fixed it

Sorry.

http://exult.info/docs.php#path_config notice the NOTE!

You might want to consider moving the games in a more logical fashion and without spaces in the path.

What did you do to work-around the crash?

Yeah, the way Windows XP has the desktop set up, it places it here: c:\documents and settings\owner\desktop\. The spaces in 'documents and settings' was what was screwing it up. Just re-installed the game to c:\ultima7 and it worked like a charm.
