Any Ideas?

That is odd. So you're running the one off the yellow Ultima Collection CD? Are you using a real DOS machine or DosBox? U8 was a pain for me to get to work properly for years.

If there is program file named BATCD.COM on the game CD, there is a known problem with it causing freezes that has been fixed in SVN.
