S & D Message.

[alpha24]

Hi. I keep getting an S & D message regarding Registry changes which obviously requires an Approve or Deny answer but the relative boxes are blanked-out. I know this is an old problem but can't remember the solution.!! What is it,please.? Regards, Alpha.

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.

Apologies for being intrusive, but why don't spybot release patches instead? That way you could save time and fix bugs more quickly.
