... can you tell me what you think a shell is?

You say you can't open one, but you give no information about the steps you've taken or the information or error messages you receive in response to your attempts.

maybe you mean 'a terminal' console? you can run it from start button and select from accessories menu.

You used BT3 without opening a shell? EPIC FAIL, anyhow I leave you with this

Maybe it's useful to tell how you are using BT4 live CD together with your windows 7. Normally, when you start a live CD (which means booting from it) then it's no matter what kinda OS you have on the HD.
So did you manage to pass the noob hurdle and enter username and password?
And then startx????
And then opening a terminal???????
