   >the shift keys work, just not what there intended process.  this keyboard   
   works fine with xp, but not with windows 7. left shift in a browser acts like   
   control n and opens a new window.  shift on the right side zooms in on the   
   screen like the magnifier    
   in chrome.  so there is something going on here...   
   (A Google search) leads me to believe  Your mapping file is messed up:   
   /Users//Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.keyboard.pref   
      
   As with most software, uninstalling does nor remove preferences and settings   
   which might explain your lack of luck.   
      
   Anyway, my guess is that you need to replace that file wit a good one.
