    Default Overlapping text and buttons

    I have had this annoying thing with Spybot:

    Attachment 1350

    The buttons work OK but are only half visible.

    I have uninstalled Sbybot and installed a new version of it, but no help.

    And this is happening in two different computers!

    Does anyone know how I can correct this?

    There is currently a bug in TeaTimer 1.4. Portions of TeaTimer's popup dialog overlay the "Allow change" and "Deny change" buttons. On my system the very top edges of the "Allow change" button (on the left) and "Deny change" button (on the right) are showing and I am still able to select the options. I also can check "Remember this decision" since it is visible. If no portion of the "Allow change" and "Deny change" buttons are showing, you can answer TeaTimer's popup dialog (English language version) by pressing "A" on your keyboard for "Allow change" or "D" for "Deny change". Note: If you close the dialog without answering "Allow change" or "Deny change" the registry change is denied.

    If you can't deal with the problem that way until it is fixed, you can:
    1. Apply one of the workarounds found in the following pinned (Sticky) thread that fixes the pop-up dialog so the buttons are visible:


      There are three (3) fixes published in that thread. They are:


      1. The ResHacker fix published by ElPiedra here:
      2. The murdo patch published here:

        Also republished by RuggeR29 (which I have never tried) here:
      3. The patch originally by SyreneD that I published here:

        Also republished by SyreneD himself here:


    2. Disable TeaTimer as follows:
      • Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced Mode > Tools > Resident.
      • Uncheck the following:
        • Resident "TeaTimer" (Protection of over-all system settings) Active.

    Notes about the patches (b. and c. above):

    Getting an answer is one thing, learning is another.

    I have had the same problem for some time. Fortunately the buttons had been clearly visible in an earlier version, so I could still see enough of them to know what to do.

    I'm a bit surprised that this bug, which must have a relatively simple fix in the screen layout, has not been addressed by Safer.
