SpyBot resident with Windows XP (Japanese)

[ehkuso]

I am running the Japanese edition of Windows XP on a Compaq nx7010. The response choices for the resident portion of SpyBot are illegible. (There are no captions on some of the buttons.) The problem appears to be unrelated to the screen resolution, the font size, or the language choice (I only tried English and Japanese).

I run many English and other European language programs under the Japanese edition of Windows XP (and also 2000). SpyBot resident is the only programme that exhibits the problem described above.

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:

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