When a registry change is detected SB asks for you to allow or deny it. However I cannot see the options to deny or allow the change. I cannot resize the window so that I can see them. Whats the cause of this problem and how can I fix it?
Deny or allow?

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:
- 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:
- The ResHacker fix published by ElPiedra here:
- The murdo patch published here:
Also republished by RuggeR29 (which I have never tried) here:
- The patch originally by SyreneD that I published here:
Also republished by SyreneD himself here:
- Disable TeaTimer as follows:
- Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced Mode > Tools > Resident.
- Uncheck the following:
- Resident "TeaTimer" (Protection of over-all system settings) Active.

I tried those patches but I only get a "teatimer.exe not found" error message. It even displays the file location and still says its not found.
If you installed Spybot in the default location:
- C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy
The following patch defaults to that location:
If you use this patch you have to navigate to the correct location (See Note #1) unless you execute the patch from within the "C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy" folder:
