Make sure the caps-lock and num-lock keys are off.
Holding the shift key down lets you move the focus of the screen away from your character, but if caps-lock is enabled it is not terribly difficult to loose track of your character. It can also cause the problem you are having going up the ladder.
PS the Direct 3D test has a problem with Radeon cards, but if you check the 'Skip Test' box (then hit Test, then Apply) the game should work fine.
