If any of the suggested suggestions up top didn't do the trick, you can always open up a terminal a type:
Code: Select all
onboard
Doing this will launch a on screen keyboard which will enable you to use the shift keys!!

Look at the screen shot below for on an example:

HI JohnnyG
One of your links provided the fix, it was the desktop effects that were causing me the keyboard problems. Thanks a lot.
