Why won't my Spore cheat code menu work?

I tried to acess the cheat menu and nothing happens. I know I have to press CTRL-SHIFT-C to access it but when I do nothing comes up. It worked when I first got the game two weeks ago, but that's it. Suddenly it just stopped working and I want to know why. Why won't my Spore cheat code menu work?
I really hope this wasn't a sofware upgrade by the development team to stop us from cheating...



To answer your question, maybe you have caps lock on? Or maybe the files that are used to enter cheat mode got corrupted during your play time... I played the game, and sometimes it locks up, or you have to send an error report when the game shuts down unexpectedly.



If your files are corrupted, try re-installing the game, but backup your files located in: C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\My Documents\My Spore Creations. Your game saves are located under:



XP C:\Documents and Settings\Your user name\Application Data\Spore

Vista C:\Users\Your user name\AppData\Roaming\Spore
