Embarrassing Camera Issue

[football_fever 6]

 I hate posting topics about issues I have with the game since I usually can figure it out on my own (mostly thanks to the omnibus) but I'm at a loss on this one.

I have SC4 installed on my new laptop, and the shortcut to use the camera (ctrl+shift+S) doesn't work.  All other shortcuts work that use shift, alt, and control, but the camera doesn't.  Does anyone know what might be up?

Are you in a city or you in the region, because I know that ctrl+shift+C doesn't work for photos in region view. Otherwise I'd suggest just using print screen if you really need to take a picture, it's a little more annoying to do it that way but you won't have the photo menu sticking into your shot.

yeah, I'm in a city when it happens. I figured I'd have to do print screen, but I still want to know why in the world this camera isn't working. It's unexplainable so far

Is there a special button you have to press with control?

You're better of using "print screen" because you automatically get a .jpg which you can paste into paint and upload to a site quickly.

That's a good point. Converting it to jpg was always one of the most tedious things. I suppose I'll live...haha, thanks for your answers, guys.

Swat - There's no special key with control, at least not that I know of. Every other shortcut worked just fine, such as ctrl+R for avenue and shift+R for raised highway. It's baffling.

Do you use a wireless keyboard? If so there is a button you have to press for keystrokes longer than 2 (usually, some keyboards don't have/need one)

I have a wireless keyboard and that keystroke works just fine for me. Besides, I think it has to be at least 4 keys anyway for what you're referring to (othwerise how would something like ctrl+alt+delete work?).
