Thank you for your post. I am experiancing a simular issue but I am using Vista to connect to to SBS network over remote desktop. ACK, I can't get anything done this way since even an e-mail needs the shift key to get the @... Anybody that knows of a fix for this, please help!

  I'm using Vista and have the same problem when connecting to my work XP Pro machine. I think it's to do with Remote Desktop 6.
  
  I've solved it like this...
  
  If you've got access to a Windows XP machine, copy the files for Remote Desktop 5.1.2600.2180 - mstsc.exe and mstscax.dll (and the help file if you want) onto your (Vista) machine (I've put them in a different directory). Then run this mstsc.exe and you should find your problem is solved. If you've upgraded the XP machine to version 6 of remote desktop (like me) the 5.1 files should still be on there just search for them under C:\Windows.
  
  Hope this helps,
