Ok, lets make sure you got it typed in right:

"C:\Program Files\Stardock\TotalGaming\GalCiv2\GalCiv2.exe"

vs

"C:\Program Files\Stardock\TotalGaming\GalCiv2\GalCiv2.exe" cheat

Note the space between the " and the word cheat.

 

If you have it typed in like that...and it's to Galciv2.exe and not GC2Launch.exe, then perhaps are you running Vista?  I think I've heard of issue under Vista.

See the Wiki Article Cheats_and_keyboard_shortcuts.

Make sure your shortcut is pointing to the executable (GalCiv2.exe) and *not* the Launcher (GC2Launch.exe), also don't forget to include the quotes as in the following for DL, DA or TA respectively.

"C:\Program Files\Stardock\TotalGaming\GalCiv2\galciv2.exe" cheat
"C:\Program Files\Stardock\TotalGaming\GalCiv2\DarkAvatar\GC2DarkAvatar.exe" cheat
"C:\Program Files\Stardock\TotalGaming\GalCiv2\Twilight\GC2TwilightOfTheArnor.exe" cheat
