This user has the following games installed:

Sims 2, University, Nightlife, Open for Business, Pets, Seasons, Bon Voyage, Free Time, Apartment Life
Default Can't exit from Tab Camera
This question refers to screenshots. When taking an overhead screenshot using the tab button to remove interface, I can't seem to get the interface back by pressing tab again. I've taken a million screenshots, so I can't figure out what I'm doing now that would glitch this function. The only difference now is that I'm using Fraps. Anyone know which weird key I hit to change this or which key I'm failing to hit? I need my interface back, obviously.
Thanks a ton!

Try Esc ?

That doesn't work either - I'm so baffled. Hitting tab definitely toggles me between camera mode and regular, but without the interface.

F10 is my hotkey for screenshots, it works for that. Also I can press Q and quit the game. I've tried all the F keys, plus shift tab and other combinations. I've also tried ctrl esc to go back to the desktop and return to the game. Only about 10% of the time when I return to the game, the tab button will bring back the interface.
Should I change my screencapture hotkey to something else? Does F10 have some special funtion?
Thanks for the suggestions.

F10 is hiding/showing interface, so yes, better change hotkey to avoid conflict

Problem solved! Thank you Pixelhate, I realize this is one of the dumbest things ever- thanks for being persistent.
