• Welcome Guest, to the Spybot Forums! It's 2025, and we just upgraded our forum software.

    Today is Safer Internet Day, and with our new forum, you can finally use passkeys to login. That was about time!

    Of course, you could ask if a forum is still useful, with so many social media networks out there where you might already have an account, and met a lot of users. You can now use your login from some of those networks to log in here. And by posting here, your question and data is stored on our servers and not automatically shared with a whole social media network.

    We'll also start using the forum for small bits of information, announcements and more again.

kamagatzu:

What type of account are you attempting to activate TeaTimer from (Computer administrator, Limited or Guest account)?

What language do you have Spybot set for?

Does the TeaTimer.exe program start if you do the following?
  • Using Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy.
  • Double click TeaTimer.exe to start it.

The easiest solution may be to just uninstall and then reinstall.

  • Uninstall Spybot-S&D 1.4:
    • Go to Windows > Control panel > Add or Remove Programs > Locate "Spybot – Search & Destroy 1.4" > Remove.
    • Using Windows explorer, verified that the following folder has been delete. If not, delete it:
      • C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy
    • Make sure that all the registry entries that Spybot-S&D added during installation are removed, there is a .reg file available on the safer-networking.org WEB site that can do that. See the following article:
    • Delete the Configuration.ini file
      • The Configuration.ini file is stored in one of the following folders:
        • Windows 95 or 98:
          C:\Windows\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy
        • Windows ME:
          C:\Windows\All Users\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy
        • Windows NT, 2000 or XP:
          C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy
  • Reinstall Spybot-S&D 1.4:
    • Execute the spybotsd14.exe installation program again.
    • Do not change the default installation path of:
      • C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy
    • If you did not update during the installation, make sure that you update before running a scan, as follows:
      • Go into Spybot > Update
      • Click "Search for Updates"
      • Check everything found
      • Click "Download Updates"
