Cheat codes

[maltesefalcon]

Hi,
  I have the Sims 2 manual and it has cheat codes in the back.  Online I find out that to enter a cheat code, I must press Shift, Crtl, and C simultaneously.  When do I do this?  I tried at the neighborhood screen and during game play.  When do I press these buttons?  I have a new PC.  Thanks.

Do you have an HP?

Do you have a HP computer?
If so, what operating system?
XP-
1. First you need to open the CursorXP configuration. Click on Start, All Programs, Stardock CursorXP, Configure CursorXP.
2. Click 'Options'.
3. Click 'Preferences'.
4. Click in the 'Enable/Disable CursorXP hot key'.
5. Press 'CTRL' and let go. It should go to 'None'.
6. Close out.
Vista-
1. Go to start menu.
2. Type 'hp health check'.
3. Right-Click on 'HP Health Check'.
4. Select 'Properties'
5. In the short-cut box, you will see it says 'CTRL + Shift + C'.
6. Click in the short-cut box.
7. Press 'CTRL' and let go. It should go to 'None'.
8. Close out

Please realize that the above fixes may not work as you may have assigned a different program this short-cut. If so, you can press 'CTRL + Shift + C'. It will bring up the program that is being used. Make a note of what that program is, and follow search for that program in Windows. Follow the steps from Vista, except replace the Hp Health Check with the program that you have opened. If that doesn't solve your problems, ask in the forums!

Let me know if that works.
