hi,
try this:
Go to the start menu,
search for HP Health Check,
right click and go to properties,
click the short cut tab,
and then go down to the short cut window.
The short cut for this program is also ctrl+shift+c,
so just change it and your cheats window should work fine.
good luck!

:DDD IT WORKS!!! What he means by change it though is change the ctl+shift+c  to something like c+v+b or something. ^.^ Bu tit works. Damn you vista, confusing my video games again.

heartlessdeath · Answer

I really dislike you right now...
"just right click hp health check and go to properties." -mocking voice-
I uninstalled the game seconds before coming across your bulletin. I was thinking a fresh install might fix things... Though I must ask. How did you come across this conclusion.  And so everyone knows, money in this game is fairly easy to come across.

Danae · Answer

For Vista you must press shift and ctrl, hold those two keys down.  Then press and release the ctrl on the right side, and press and release c, while holding down shift and ctrl on the left side.

Mummy · Answer

If you have a vist laptop that is a hp brand this is what you do to fix the cheat window for the sims 2
Firstly go to the start button then click all programs. Scroll down untill you see a folder called hp click on the folder and all the sub folders for hp are displayed. You will then see one called Hp health check. Just right click it and when the window opens select properties. When a box opens there will be a tab that says shortcut mine actually opens in the shortcut tab so I didnt need to navigate to it. About half way down you will see Shortcut key and in the box next to it will be ctrl + shift + c just click in the box and change the c to a h or any other letter you like. Then click apply then you can close the box. Now run the sims 2 and when you are in the game the ctrl + shift + c cheat box should work.

mariah125 · Answer

Do you have Free Will turned off? Because I had the same problem, turned Free Will on again, and the keyboard shortcuts worked just fine after that. This probably works for any weird game setting you might have turned on.

yugi501 · Answer

easy you have to hold them all down at once and you have to push + too.
hope this solves your problem.

Sims 2 double deluxe rocks hope u have fun!!!!!!!!!

darja · Answer

Do you have HP PC or laptop? Because with HP computer you get a program, which uses this combination. So you must find this program and delete this shotrcut that it uses, or if you don't know how just uninstall this program if you dom't use it.

Or - just if you have windows Vista, you must type one more (but I don't know anymore which) - so you have 4 typing together for this cheat.
