    Default "Registry Change" warning window is unreadable

    I recently installed Spybot, and I keep getting these pop-up windows indicating that Spybot has detected a registry change. The window is not full readable however, and I cannot figure out what I should do! If I just hit the "X" to close the window, the registry change is denied, but if I am installing software that NEEDS the change, I cannot figure out how to approve it. I have tried just clicking blindly, but have not figured it out. Here is a screenshot of the window as it appears on my screen:

    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:
    1. Apply one of the workarounds found in the following pinned (Sticky) thread that fixes the pop-up dialog so the buttons are visible:


      There are three (3) fixes published in that thread. They are:


      1. The ResHacker fix published by ElPiedra here:
      2. The murdo patch published here:

        Also republished by RuggeR29 (which I have never tried) here:
      3. The patch originally by SyreneD that I published here:

        Also republished by SyreneD himself here:


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

    Notes about the patches (b. and c. above):
