My cheat bar won't pop up when i press the ~ button

[Shelby101]

When I started the game, I tried to press the tilde [~] button, but nothing would pop up. My brother has also tried it on his game, which hes half way dont with, and nothing appeared.

What's wrong?

is there something I can download to fix it?

 

Thanks lots! ;D

Do you use an english PC? If you do, then the key is ¬, the one under the esc key.

It's actually called the Console :).

The Ring of Console usually fixes the problem if you can't find or use the key normally.

For some reason beyond my comprehension, Microsoft decided to disable the tilde key (~) when they have infrared turned on. On most desktop computers this is not a problem because they don't have IR capability. However, for laptops and media center desktops, as well as those desktops that do have an infrared receiver/transmitter it is a nuisance.

 

On non-English keyboards the key in question is the one to the left of the 1 key on the top line. Whatever its symbol.

 

On the media center PC, the simplest fix is to unplug the IR from the PC. The tilde immediately returns to use.

 

On those with an IR that can not be simply unplugged, you will need to go into the control panel to disable IR.

 

On an XP system: Vista will be similar

Start>Settings>Control Panel

click on 'System' then the Hardware tab, then the 'Device Manager'

 

Find the infrared port

Under the section labeled 'Device usage' select 'Do not use this Device (disable)'

Click on the OK below it.

 

A red x should appear over the IR port on the list of devices.

 

Of course, this will make anything that relies on the IR no longer function until you change it back.

 

Or, you can use this mod as a work around: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=13133 :thumbsup:
