The reason that has been figured out is that RomeShell interferes with some infrared devices (e.g. Microsoft infrared receiver in Vista, some remote keybords, etc.). If you experience such problem with Rome console, you should go to device manager and disable the infrared receiver. It worked for me and it had cost me a lot of time to figure out where the problem is.

* Change the key used to open the console using Africanus' workaround (the text is significantly edited, the original wording is here)
o Go to the <RTW>/data/text folder. (<RTW> means the folder you installed Rome Total War and EB in)
o Use a standard text editor (like Notepad/Word etc.) to open "descr_shortcuts.txt"
o Scroll down or search for "misc." (at the start of the line)
o There should be a line with "show_console" here, and it says "hidden" behind it. Remove "hidden" and save the file.
o If and only if you are using BI, you need to also repeat the above sequence with <RTW>/bi/data/text/descr_shortcuts.txt
o Start EB, go to controls > misc and press reset to default
o There should now be a line "show debug console" . Set to whatever key you want (cannot use any key already assigned to another function though).
