Registry change window

[A. Sergio]

I forgot how to fix that pop-up window that shows after a registry change: no Yes or No options displayed!
Solution was already addressed in the forum but I couldn't find it.

Hello,

Please read this information about TeaTimer:
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/faq/33.html
and http://www.safer-networking.org/en/faq/34.html
If you surf the web and without any user interaction the teatimer pops up and warns about a registry change it is better to "deny", but if you install something by yourself it is OK to "allow" the change.

Best regards

A. Sergio:

You are running an old version of Spybot (Spybot 1.5 is the latest).

There was 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, you can:

1. Download and install Spybot 1.5.
   
   • The downloads can be found here:

2. Apply one of the workarounds found in the following thread that fixes the pop-up dialog so the buttons are visible:
