Solution to fix the pop-ups in TeaTimer

[spotbotcreation]

Hi

I chose the fix murdo posted and I was able to get the pop-up to display properly.

Thankyou and I am glad I found this forum to come to for help.

Which fix are you trying?

1. ElPiedra's "ResHacker" fix from this post:

2. murdo's "&D14 GUI Patch.zip"patch from this post:

Do you have a copy of the original (unmodified) TeaTimer.exe?

1)Which fix are you trying?

2)Do you have a copy of the original (unmodified) TeaTimer.exe?

Thanks md. 1) I've tried both. With Piedra's patch, when I tried to open TeaTimer.exe with ResHacker I got the message "C\unzipped\ResHack\TeaTimer.exe no longer exists." With Murdo's patch,when I hit Start I got the message "TeaTimer.exe file not found or access
error". I do have the file in the S&D folder,but (as I've said above) it seems
to be defunct.!! My TTX file (1.34MB) was modified on 31/05/05 at 01:04 but I'm not clear how to relate this 24 hour system time to your 12:04 am time, as on the 24 hour system this would be pm. In any case,there's not much of a margin.!! Cheers, Alpha.

If TeaTimer is no longer working, the only thing that I can suggest is that you reinstall Spybot 1.4 so that you have a working copy of TeaTimer.exe.

Please note: I suggest that you make a backup copy of TeaTimer.exe before attempting any of the fixes/patches.

If you were attempting to use murdo's "&D14 GUI Patch.zip" patch when you got the following error, it could have been because TeaTimer was still running:

• "TeaTlmer.exe - File not found, or File access error!"

Before attempting to fix TeaTimer you must exit TeaTimer as follows:

• Right click Spybot's TeaTimer System Tray Icon.
• Click Exit Spybot-S&D Resident (TeaTimer should close).

To restart TeaTimer:

• Using Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy.
• Double click TeaTimer.exe to start it.

There is also a one byte patch that appears to work. It was originally posted Sept. 28, 2005 by SyreneD in the net-integration forum:

Unfortunately the link to the patch itself in the above post is broken so I have attached a copy of that patch to this post.

Many thanks Murdo - your automated patch from bottom of page one of this thread worked fine. In case it helps anyone else I would suggest to avoid any problems that you place the patch exe in the Spybot folder - where TeaTimer.exe should be visible. Copy the original TeaTimer to somewhere safe just in case of any problem.

Remember to shutdown the TeaTimer (if you have it running) before you run the patch - the easiest way to do that is by using the right click menu from the icon in the system tray - choose "Exit Spybot-S&D Resident".

You can restart TeaTimer direct - by double clicking the exe - or restart Windows to activate the fixed version.

Many thanks for your help md. I reinstalled Spybot 1.4, as you suggested and then tried Murdo's patch again but I still got the "TeaTimer.exe file can't be found" message. I then used your links - firstly to the very interesting thread and secondly to SyreneD's patch which worked perfectly,!! All is now in order with the TeaTimer pop-ups and I can only confirm my appreciation of the very timely advice received. Regards, Alpha.

ResHak didn't seem to be opening right for me but this attachment in message 38 did it all . Thanks for your efforts , My computer is running much faster now that I have removed needless programs running in the Background.

That seems to work for me, too. Many thanks to you for your effort and 'open source' spirit.:dancing-c
