Hello. I just registered so that I can report this issue.

When Spybot detects a registry change I'm alerted. However, I can't read the text in the dialog. It almost looks like the fonts are too large (like I'm using large fonts or something). I'm running on a 19" lcd 1280x1024 with the default windows setup. Display adapter is NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 Model 64. I've determined by trial and error that the button on the left is accept the change, and the button on the right is ignore.
 
And for further explanation, please see this post by md usa spybot fan:

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

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