I use a Vista laptop, and mine seems to pop up.
Are you making sure your holding down all the buttons at the same time?
Try exiting out of the game and re-trying. If that doesn't work, try un-installing the game then re-installing it.
:D

Are you on an HP laptop? You have to set the shortcut up for it or something. Bat should know more about that xD Or you could just google it.

Yeah, if you are using an HP laptop, all HP computers use that shortcut to open a program. Try going here to read about it.

Yeah, Mostly Hp laptops do this because when i worked with them i seem it doesn't have a keyboard Shortcut.
Since i am A Microsoft MVP. i came across info to help you create a keyboard shortcut
Creating a keyboard shortcut
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.

Troubleshooting
* The default combination is CTRL+ALT; if you press only a character key, Windows XP automatically adds CTRL+ALT. To use other combinations of the three required keys, press those keys before you press the character key.
* A keyboard shortcut does not work if it conflicts with a keyboard combination that is used in the program that is currently active.

APPLIES TO
* Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
* Microsoft Windows XP Professional
