Haven't used cheathappens since win 7. Now on win10, cleared chrome cache and redownloaded trainer but not working.

I keep getting Invalid Trainer User

clear cache and try again.

Trainers, like any other piece of software, will sometimes have compatibility problems. The important thing to remember is that you're cheating. You're trying to manipulate the game to work in a way that the programmers never intended. Sometimes the programmers go out of their way to make this more difficult. Here's a few things you can try if you're having problems getting trainers (ours or any other) to work:
Are you using AVast?

In our opinion, you are using one of the worst products ever created. It blocks trainers even when you tell it not to. It blocks trainer downloads even when disabled. Now it even has the added bonus of completely BRICKING your OS when Microsoft rolls out a simple Windows patch. Do yourself a favor and completely uninstall it and never use it again. If you paid for it, I would suggest asking for a refund. ANY other security product is better than using AVast.

Receiving a 404 error when trying to download a trainer?

This can be caused if our system is unable to properly read your cookie or you have cached a previous trainer download. Try clearing your browser cache and cookies. Also clear your DNS cache. Close and re-open your browser. You should also try disabling any antivirus, firewall or other security software including browser addons and extensions which may be blocking the trainer download. If you are using AdBlock or AdBlock PLUS, please disable it and/or exclude Cheat Happens from being filtered.

Trainer repeating "Activated" over and over?

Most likely your keyboard cache is full and needs to be cleared. This is most easily accomplished by rebooting your PC. Other possibilities include a bad keyboard, personalized keyboard software interfering or security software blocking the injection routine.

Personalized trainers suddenly crashing during the authentication process?

Odds are you have upgraded your operating system to Windows 8/8.1/10 or installed Internet Explorer 10/11 on Windows 7 or earlier. With this software release, Microsoft changed a core piece of functionality that has been in place since IE1 was released. Our authentication process relied on this component and this is why the trainers are crashing. We have gone through and updated the most recent version of most trainers to be compatible with this update. All trainers released after around July of 2012 are already compatible. You can find the compatibility status on each trainer download page (marked as Windows 8 compatible). There is more information on how to get older trainers to work and the process for requesting a trainer to be updated on our FEEDBACK message board. The easiest fix for Windows 7 users and below is to uninstall Internet Explorer 10+11 or you can manually restore the file that the authentication process needs by following these instructions.

Recently upgraded to yearly or lifetime account and trainers say "INVALID TRAINER USER"?

You most likely had a monthly TRIAL account and allowed it to expire. When that happens, the site disables your trainers and since authentication is based on a simple HTTP request, your system can actualy cache the block. Even though your account was cleared on our side, you may need to manually clear all browsers (IE, Firefox, Chrome, etc even if not used), system (Windows), and network device (routers, firewalls) caches in order to clear the block. Be sure and reboot after clearing all caches. It's also possible that your ISP has cached the block and it may take a few days for it to clear on its own. Another reason for this error can come from using VPN or proxy software such as Spotflux.

Fixed.
