Hello to all u wonderful simmers...

I have windows vista, on a new HP laptop and my cheat code box wont come up, and yes, i am pushing the correct buttons, ive played this game for years. could anyone tell me what I have to do? Google didnt help, just put me in circles for hours. {glare}
On HP laptops, that shortcut is taken. You have to create a shortcut for it. Look at google for the way to do it because I have no idea since I don't own an HP laptop.

EDIT: I found another topic on the same problem here which links to another topic on here with the same problem, but it includes a URL that may help, so here's the topic that could help the most: http://www.simsforums.net/the_sims_2/hel...837.0.html
but i did google it and it takes me in circles !!!
Okay then, go here for the way to disable the shortcut key for cursor XP. Also, apparently HP healthcheck also interferes with it too, so do the same steps for that program and then your cheatbox should appear. Also try the other url I posted if this doesn't work
i still cant find it, that link in the forum was a dead like and i cant find out how to change the shortcut. does anyone know how to change the shortcuts? ive been trying to do this for hours and i cant!!!
I tried all the links and they do all work. But I'll copy and paste the steps for you...

dateline= Wrote:  1. Right-click the desktop shortcut, and then click Properties.
  2. On the Shortcut tab, click in the Shortcut Key box.
  3. Press the keyboard combination that you want to use to start the program. The shortcut combination must consist of one character (a letter, number, or symbol) plus at least two of the following three keys: CTRL, ALT, and SHIFT.
  4. Click OK.

Also do the above for HP health check and make sure the shortcut is different from the Sims 2.
i dont have an xp i have vista so there is no cursor xp, i looked for it.. im trying to find the health check but i cant find that
Okay, then you might not have Cursor XP but look for HP healthcheck shortcuts on your startmenu and desktop, you maybe able to find it. I'll be searching google in the meantime, trying to find out more.

EDIT: This is your best bet, it includes Vista on the bottom: http://www.sims2wiki.info/wiki.php?title...27t_Appear
THANK YOU SOO MUCH !!!!!!!!!!


I FOUND IT AND I HAD TO GET TO THE PROPERTIES.. THANKS UR AWOSME Smile
You're welcome. I'm glad we finally found a solution lol. I know I'll be keeping that for future reference.
