Alt+Shift+1 should work. The function that should be called is
shell-command.
Try to run it with "M-x shell-command"

I've set my machine from UK 105 to DK 105,
and M-! works (Alt-Shift-1) (on Xemacs under Debian etch)
What does M-h w shell-command RET
report?
Have you any key modification commands in your .emacs?
"emacs -q" or "emacs --vanilla" should start emacs
without reading your configurations.

Does Alt-x give you this, or do you have to precede it with Alt-M ?

The command you are trying to run is shell-command, which is normally
bound to M-! (Meta+! = normally Meta+Shift+1).
However, if you just want a shell, maybe either M-x shell or M-x term
will give you what you need. (there is even M-x eshell).

What does it give you? If it gives M-1 then you may have alt-shift bound
to something like layout change in your X configuration (or desktop
environment).
In any case, M-x shell RET would do the same thing as previously posted.
