please help ... in middle of installing Adobe Reader ... Spybot popped up with Search & Destroy alert box re System Startup user entry; valued added to dlmMgr (which I believe it should) ...

HOWEVER

the bottons at the bottom (for Remember and ????) are 90% blocked so I can only see the top fragments of the characters ... so I cannot see which button is Remember (which is the action I want)

does anyone remember which button is which on this alert??? I need to know like right now as I am in the middle of this installation and the client is staring over my shoulder!! :red:

thanks
 
update

Aha! Saw another TeaTimer post that discussed using the ALT key to pick the correct action. So I clicked the Remember selection box (which is still visible) and ALT-A (for Accept) and hoped that would be a correct selection ... and it appears to be. Sorry to sound like a newbie but there was a time element and it was getting very warm. Curses on Borland for this nonsense ... they used to be such a great company (this from one of the original Turbo-Pascal and Turbo-C customers way back in the good ol' days)!! :red:

BTW: is this fixed in the current version? Once I got past the Adobe load, I loaded up SpyBot and it loaded a whole bunch of updates -- I haven't used this computer in a year or so and decided today to power it up for a new user -- but it would be nice to know that silly button hiding issue is taken care of.

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:


  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.
