    I had the same problem (with Oblivion) for a while. The shift has nothing to do with it, it is the key on every keyboard. The reason it does not work is that the IR receiver uses that key. I had to uninstall it's drivers, that allows the tilde to be use.

    This is how:
    goto device manager, expand everything and look for something that has IR or CIR in it (i cant remember exactly because it is still unistalled), right click then unistall. That will fix it.

    Those are keyboard stuff so don't touch them. I believe it is under "human interface devices". It is an IR receiver and should have those words as part of it's description. If you need more help please expand all the devices and post a pic.
    Important: did the console work in Oblivion? If so this fix may not work.
