This may help..
Alright, this may not be it but who knows. Recently (in Beta 4), I've been getting prompted for my UO dir.. this didnt happen in Beta 3. Anyway, the runuo.exe will not do anything until you enter the root dir of UO. I would log with a non-encrypted client and get just past the char select screen, then the prompt would come:
Scripts: Compiling...done (0 errors, 0 warnings)
World: Loading...done

Now if I didn't enter the UO dir and tried to move in the game it would freeze up. I'd just enter the directory and it would work as expected. I've tried some other clients as well, and this is what your problem sounds like. One of the clients stopped at "Verifying Password" and prompted for the UO dir. However once I entered the dir I got:

I'm suspecting the client is no good or just doesn't work with RunUO.. *pant* ^^. sooo.. just check your runuo.exe window and see if it is prompting you for the UO directory. good day ><
