Thanks for sharing that fix to a very frustrating problem.
Everyone is amazed at this. This problem must affect millions. Why no update?
Why make everyone wait 2 years+ for the next version to fix a simple glitch. This doesn't make sense. Why?

You can get the beta by Opening Spybot-S&D > Mode > Advanced Mode > Settings.
Go to the settings page, and enable beta updates to be able to see them when you're looking for updates.
As a non programmer, your solution gives me an insight into how you guys solve programming problems. I am impressed, and dont think I will ever be in technical space, but it worked, and thanks a million for this workaround. Was about to give up on TeaTimer already. If I had not stumbled into this forum, I would have shredded TeaTimer....hee :angel:

I am surprised it took so long to update this. Could it not have just been released as some sort of patch :bigthumb:

GOOD LORD! This is still a problem!? It's been years,
folks!
And the "teatimer beta" link up above doesn't seem to work.
Come on, people.
Oh,you mean this?

Did you try to get it the way tashi posted above?Maybe you can still get the beta tools update for Spybot 1.4 that way.
You can get the beta by Opening Spybot-S&D > Mode > Advanced Mode > Settings.
Go to the settings page, and enable beta updates to be able to see them when you're looking for updates.
Or,there is always the fix at the beginning of this thread,if there is no luck getting the beta teatimer:

Hi from France!
Thanks to you for the solution :bigthumb:,
thanks to the SpyBot-S&D to allow a "temporary hacking" of their great piece of software,
in despite of small-minded who bark for a new release and have never make a donation.
Cheers to evervyone, even to "barkers":)

I have just installed the 1.5 rc1 (in XP), which, to my horror, brought up the same old glitch in the Tea Timer as in 1.4.
I guess I'll use Resource Hacker to fix mine. The Murdo Patch, posted at the beginning of this thread in November 2005, doesn't seem to work in the 1.5 beta.
Such an old problem is so extremely discouraging—and infuriating, too, because it is a "remember this decision" choice in TeaTimer.
How many people—thousands?—have suggested to others that they try Spybot as an alternative to Ad-Aware, only to be told later, "Well, at least Ad-Aware works right!"
The last Spybot version that had a good TeaTimer popup box was the Spybot 1.4 beta. It worked perfectly.

The problem has been eliminated in Spybot 1.5 without the necessaty to patch TeaTimer. I suggest that you consider upgrading to Spybot 1.5.

I decided to post my patch once again, to make it easier for people to find. Also, I don't understand why the developers are so slow to resolve this. The updater module in spybot already is capable of closing spybot, updating its files and then reopening it. Why not release an updated through its integrated update system that closes teatimer.exe and then patches it, before reopening it? It would be simple to do, and would solve everything! Please please don't leave people hanging until the next release. Some people simply refuse to use anything unless it comes directly from the developer and so these people won't want to use spybot in its current state because of this glitch.

But!!! That still leaves you running TeaTimer 1.4 that has other minor problems that have been resolved in TeaTimer 1.5.
With the release of Spybot-S&D 1.5, this topic is done.
