Have you been into regional settings to change the key board or just used a
different bit of hardware

I've had this issue when using Windows XP Media Center 2005. I've since
upgraded to Windows Vista Home Premium, which is on a completely different
system. The only things in common are media center and the MCE remote. While
reading through other gaming threads, some suggest unplugging the remote (if
applicable) and the '~' key then works.

I do think Microsoft should address this issue, since it is their
hardware/software conflicting with games; Crysis, Oblivion, etc. Unpluging or
disabling a USB is not a solution.

Thanx Dan, I also think that Microsoft should carry the blame after all
they have the money and the brains, another thing is my library of games
is just about DEAD and that library cost me a small fortune just because
i moved over to Vista via, a new pc in April, i also think i should be
compensated via microsoft because of my loss.see ya Reptaker.
