Yeah, after paying $40 for this software, where's the service? Oh wait, it's free!!!

Jeez, take some personal responsibility for your p.c. and spend the 60 seconds to do the fix yourself. It'll be educational.

Well said Mr_Refney!

The software is great, is free, and you can't expect the developers to just drop everything and fix every little annoyance as soon as it is discovered, especially when they aren't getting paid for it. The issue has been reported, it has also been fixed for now, as well as integrated with the next release. END OF!
 
The fix works! THANK YOU.

As for those who are complaining about a FREE, very valuable tool - find another forum to whine in!

Actually, they are getting paid for it -- with DONATIONS. Please make one.

I have no association with Spybot. I'm a Mac guy. I just know a good tool when I see one.
 
Tea Timer Fix

Hi

I chose the fix murdo posted and I was able to get the pop-up to display properly.

Thankyou and I am glad I found this forum to come to for help.

When I try the patch, I get the following error:

C:\Program Files\Spybot-Searc&Destroy\TeaTimer.exe File not foun, or File access error.

The file is listed in that directory. What could be the problems

Use the Browse button and go find TeaTimer.exe
 
Hi Warrior. Downloaded your patch (for which, thanks) but when I hit Start I got the message "TeaTimer.exe file not found or access error" although I do
have the file in the S&D folder. What do you suggest,please.? Regards,Alpha. :confused:
 
Hi again Warrior. In the context of my earlier posting today, I think I should mention that my teatimer.exe file seems to be quite "dead"!! No amount of clicking will activate it and,having installed ResHacker, when I try to open tt.exe I get a ResHacker message "C\unzipped\Reshack\TeaTimer.exe no longer exists" It certainly doesn't exist in that location (where all the ResHack files are) but is in the S&D folder,although apparently defunct.!! Confusion reigns.!! Advice,please.? Regards, Alpha. :confused:

Which fix are you trying?
  1. ElPiedra's "ResHacker" fix from this post:

  2. murdo's "&D14 GUI Patch.zip"patch from this post:

Do you have a copy of the original (unmodified) TeaTimer.exe?

Thanks md. 1) I've tried both. With Piedra's patch, when I tried to open TeaTimer.exe with ResHacker I got the message "C\unzipped\ResHack\TeaTimer.exe no longer exists." With Murdo's patch,when I hit Start I got the message "TeaTimer.exe file not found or access
error". I do have the file in the S&D folder,but (as I've said above) it seems
to be defunct.!! My TTX file (1.34MB) was modified on 31/05/05 at 01:04 but I'm not clear how to relate this 24 hour system time to your 12:04 am time, as on the 24 hour system this would be pm. In any case,there's not much of a margin.!! Cheers, Alpha.

If TeaTimer is no longer working, the only thing that I can suggest is that you reinstall Spybot 1.4 so that you have a working copy of TeaTimer.exe.

Please note: I suggest that you make a backup copy of TeaTimer.exe before attempting any of the fixes/patches.

If you were attempting to use murdo's "&D14 GUI Patch.zip" patch when you got the following error, it could have been because TeaTimer was still running:
  • "TeaTlmer.exe - File not found, or File access error!"
Before attempting to fix TeaTimer you must exit TeaTimer as follows:
  • Right click Spybot's TeaTimer System Tray Icon.
  • Click Exit Spybot-S&D Resident (TeaTimer should close).
To restart TeaTimer:
  • Using Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy.
  • Double click TeaTimer.exe to start it.
There is also a one byte patch that appears to work. It was originally posted Sept. 28, 2005 by SyreneD in the net-integration forum:
http://net-integration.us/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=31466&view=findpost&p=160216

Unfortunately the link to the patch itself in the above post is broken so I have attached a copy of that patch to this post.
 
Many Thanks Murdo

Many thanks Murdo - your automated patch from bottom of page one of this thread worked fine. In case it helps anyone else I would suggest to avoid any problems that you place the patch exe in the Spybot folder - where TeaTimer.exe should be visible. Copy the original TeaTimer to somewhere safe just in case of any problem.

Remember to shutdown the TeaTimer (if you have it running) before you run the patch - the easiest way to do that is by using the right click menu from the icon in the system tray - choose "Exit Spybot-S&D Resident".

You can restart TeaTimer direct - by double clicking the exe - or restart Windows to activate the fixed version.
 
Thanks

such a life saver , but why is it that We, the end user are the ones who have to make such an edit???

dont you think that perhaps that this is something that the developer should address?

not to get anyone upset or have any heart-akes, just an honest question.

and by the way thanks for this tip :bow:
