Hello, The little window that pops up when Bot encounters something it doesn't like, is corrupt.

I can read the encountered problem, but the on bottom line all I can see is "Remember", a question mark, and a blank text box. The boxes extend beyond the boundaries of the entire message box, either side. It's waiting for me to tell it what to do, and whether to make it permanent or not, but none of the buttons to do this are visible - I assume Allow and Disallow, or similar. It defaults to Disallowing, and as I can't change this it's causing some minor installation probs.

I have to cancel the installation, close Bot, and begin the installation again. I don't get any choices, but at least the installation goes ahead as it wants to.
WIN98SE.

It's happened after a reinstall, too.

Ta.

Hello,

This is a little bug in version 1.4: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/news/2005-06-22.html
We have already been able to locate and fix it. The fix will be downloadable with our next program upgrade. We hope that it will be available soon.
As a current solution you can work with your keyboard. Use the cursor keys to switch between the buttons ("Allow" is on the left, "Deny" on the right) and the space key to enter your selection. You can also press "A" on your keyboard for "Allow change" or "D" for "Deny change". The Checkbox for "Remember this decision" will work correctly in spite of the graphical issue. If you don't like to use the above workarounds you can disable TeaTimer as follows:
- Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced Mode > Tools > Resident.
- Uncheck the following: Resident "TeaTimer" (Protection of over-all system settings) Active.
