Solution to fix the pop-ups in TeaTimer

Fix For Tea Timer pop-up
The fix worked fine. Prior to the fix when I right clicked the Tea Timer on the taskbar the pop-up window was white and had nothing in it. After the fix was applied the "Allow" and "Deny" blocks showed up without being cut off, also the menu showed up when the Tea Timer on the taskbar was right clicked. Was this part of the fix, or did something else change? After I rebootted the Tea Timer isn't on the taskbar, but is on and working. Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks
Kent

Thanks, this is nice to know!
Btw, how can I change my mind about a decision that I made in regards to Tea Timer's interceptions of registry changes?
Can the Black / White Lists entries be modified?
I've looked, and I can't figure it out.
Thanks in advance!

Yes
Right click on the TeaTimer icon in the System Tray.
Click on "Settings".
The four button options should appear on the top:
** Allowed Processes
** Blocked Processes
** Allowed Registry Changes
** Blocked Registry Changes
Click on the appropriate button.
Find the item you want to change.
Right click on it and you should see its current status (a check mark shows its status).
Click on the change you want.
That should do it.
Can see the button now but the tick box does not work
Hi,
I followed the suggested procedure and it certainly fixed the problem of not being able to see the Allow / Deny buttons. However now that they can be seen properly and work properly the check box (remember this decision) does not work on my system.
Am I the only one or did I boob somewhere in following the posted work around instructions?
Help?

No,the Remember This Decision checkbox always worked properly for me,after fixing Teatimer.
If you used reshacker to fix Teatimer,reshacker should have made a backup of Teatimer in your Spybot - Search & Destroy folder,called TeaTimer_original.exe,in case you made a mistake.
You should find the Spybot - Search & Destroy folder in Program Files,if you installed Spybot to the default location.

Did you unzip the reshacker.zip folder,after you downloaded it?If you tried to double-click reshacker.exe in the reshacker.zip,it should give you a warning about needing to be unzipped.
No,you don't need to have reshacker.exe in the Spybot folder,you need to open Teatimer with reshacker.You might want to remove reshack.exe from your Spybot S&D folder.

Once you open teatimer with reshacker,the Ctrl-F should work,so you can follow the rest of the instructions.hth.
Also,if fixing Teatimer with reshacker doesn't work out for you,there are also workarounds listed in this post,like clicking A for Allow,etc,etc.:

note to md usa spybot fan and to SyreneD and to ALL readers...
AVG Anti-Spyware just identified the patch.zip 1-byte fix purportedly created by SyreneD and heavily touted by md-usa-spybot-fan as containing a hacker's tool... (?) (abeit, a low-priority risk.)
[locn]\teatimer patch.exe -> Not-A-Virus.VirTool.Win32.AvSpoffer.a : Cleaned with backup (quarantined).
[locn]\patch.zip/teatimer patch.exe -> Not-A-Virus.VirTool.Win32.AvSpoffer.a : Cleaned with backup (quarantined).
[locn]\patch\teatimer patch.exe -> Not-A-Virus.VirTool.Win32.AvSpoffer.a : Cleaned with backup (quarantined).
possibly, it has been infected while on my pc, since i originally downloaded it.
just fyi. i've redownloaded it for rescanning purposes. also because apparently the fix didn't stick, although i can't imagine why.
as a reminder to everyone out there trying to use these patches, YOU HAVE TO END THE PROGRAM TEA-TIMER BEFORE TRYING TO RUN THE PATCH FIX.
(then just remember to restart it, afterwards!)
I made this same mistake myself, at least twice. LOL.

[UPDATE]
All automatic versions of this teatimer patch (all except for ResHacker) are being reported as containing the same hacker's tool, spoofer (mis-spelled "spoffer"??)
I'm not sure whether it's significant, it's probably the program used to do the automatic patching - hacker's tool of choice, no doubt. (Any program that "patches" by "Stuffing" bits could properly be labelled a hacker's tool.)
again, just fyi.
(thanks TBear for your helpful hints to a n00b!)

Finally a patch for the GUI size issue!
=========
Thanks to both "Murdo" and "ElPiedra" for helping fix this. Perfect-o-mundo!

My pleasure, DE. Sorry for the delay in responding.
Elsewhere in the net (was it in this forum?), spybotsandra wrote (I paraphrase) "I hope our new update will be available soon." This was in November 2005. It is now November 2006. We can be grateful that the developers are being so cautious and painstaking with the new release. (Can't we?)
In this forum there are 200 replies, but nobody mentions that the width of the popup also needs to be increased. I get lots of paths displayed in which I see the directory, but the path is so long it runs off the edge of the tiny window so I can't see the file name.
Maybe the delay in the release of the new version is because the developers are still trying to figure out how to design a resizable pop-up window.

Murdo's patch works with his instructions!
Murdo: I was getting the same error as others, but found this post and followed your instructions. It worked, so thank you SO MUCH for creating this patch and helping us solve this problem. - Podbay

There is nothing wrong with the community helping out now and then, its what forums are for?!
Considering we don't HAVE to pay for SpyBot (although I recommend people do Donate if they can afford it..), I think the product is pretty awesome. Name one peice of software that the public hasn't contributed to "fixing" in one way or another?
Glad the automated patch helped everyone, and for those who said thanks, your very welcome.
STEP BY STEP:
1) Download http://murdo.digitalicedesigns.com/S&D14GUIPatch.zip (I put it on my web server as the forum link doesn't always work
2) Open the Zip File
3) Extract/Copy the contents to your SpyBot S&D folder
4) Close "Spybot-SD Resident" from your systray by:
"RIGHT CLICK" > "Exit Spybot-SD Resident"
5) Execute "S&D14 GUI PATCH.exe" from within your SpyBot folder
Press the "Start" button
You should then see a window:
Enjoy
Note: Remember to start "TeaTimer.exe" again!
P.S I just looked at the other patch md mentioned, and it does exactly the same thing except moves the check button down slightly, where as mine moves it down and accross (hence the 5 bytes instead of 1 byte)
Also, don't worry about makeing a backup of "TeaTimer.exe" as the patch is set to do this by default (you will find "TeaTimer.exe.bak" in the program folder)
