Solution to fix the pop-ups in TeaTimer

[PepiMK]

And don't forget, anyone who doesn't care about the "beta" flag can look here
(Though I of course appreciate the inofficial workarounds. If it wouldn't have been for the broken Authenticode certificate, I would've advertised it myself probably )

Hello.

I downloaded the ResHack (with the "open with" option), but I don't have an unzip program, so I couldn't open the file. I can't open it with anything else. zip files for updating Ad Aware go through automatically, so I can't make head nor tails of what to do here.
What's the next step?

Thank-you.

Rachelleme:

What Windows OS are you running?

With Window XP right click on the .zip folder and select "Extract All..." to unzip the folder.

Hi. Thank-you for helping out. I'm running Windows ME. Using AVG (whose changes are what the SpyBot keeps on veto-ing), Ad Aware, X-Cleaner.
I couldn't open the patch offered by Murdo, either.

Rachelleme:

Until someone suggests programs that will allow you to unzip the corrective files with Window ME, the only things that I can suggest are:

1. Disable TeaTimer as follows:
   • Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced Mode > Tools > Resident.
   • Uncheck the following:
     • Resident "TeaTimer" (Protection of over-all system settings) Active.
2. Or substituting keyboard entries to answer the pop-up dialog.
   
   • 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.

There's 7-zip(I use that myself)

Or,winzip has a free trial:

It would be nice if Spybot S&D includes a pop-blocker in their tea timer. Like those found on Ad____e's Adw___h.

I am using 1.3 now, presently downloading 1.4. Spybot S&D team, keep up the good work!

Downloaded your patch to fix popup in spybot ( Tea timer?)
But when I press Start i get
"TeaTimer.exe - file not found or file access error."
I tried putting the file in the same folder as Teatimer.exe, but no go.
I created a folder in Spybot and put it in there, in case it was looking for a folder that was one step down in the file structure. But no go. Can you help?
Many thanks,

Murdo has not been here for a long time,and I feel they may not be back,but here are their original instructions,in case you haven't seen them yet:

From here:

Or,there is another patch,which is mentioned in this post here:
http://forums.spybot.info/showpost.p...64&postcount=2
(That post also shows info about the reshacker fix,tells about some workarounds for Teatimer,and has a link to the new Teatimer beta,if you prefer to try any one of those,instead.)

Hope something in all that helps.I did not use the murdo patch,so I do not know a lot about it.
