Problems with Climbing - but not in DOSBox?!

alright chaps, another daggerfall problem! For some reason my character now won't climb. When he crawls it is really really slow, and no matter which way I push against a wall, crawling or walking, it won't climb.

Bizarrely though, the character can crawl as normal and climb when I play the game through DOSBox, the only problem is, the game runs too slow in DOSBox!

As such, I'm having to load up dosbox every time I need to crawl through to somewhere or climb, do it, save it, then re-load it normally in XP.

Any clues to why this is happening? I'm not sure if its because I reinstalled the 2.13 patch because I thought it hadn't installed when I installed it through XPInstaller, but then why would it still crawl and climb in DOSBox?

To my understanding, Daggerfall handles climbing/flying/jumping in such a way that modern CPUs render them buggy to inoperable.

Dosbox emulates an older CPU, so that problem isn't present.
