The problems with climbing and moving backwards (particularly when in
Sneak mode) are not due to Windows 98, but to a too-fast processor.
If you use a slow-down utility with 98, the game will run quite well.
On the other hand, if the processor isn't too much too fast, pressing
the Run key while climbing or backing up will allow you to climb or
back up.  The problem is that you increase your Run skill instead of
your Climb skill.

I run Daggerfall on a 133 with 33M and it runs pretty very, but
crashes occasionally.
