Pretty much every time I install new software programs on my computer, the Spybot SD Resident denies the changes.

Can this keep new software from loading properly?

Thanks,Doesn't SpyBot give you the option to deny or accept the changes?When the warning box comes up, there are some things that are covered up.

I can see the top edges of two boxes sticking out from top edges of the Remember this Change box which I put a check and it always says its denied.

In other words the box does not display fully. Some items OVERLAP the others, and I can't see what all is there.

Thanks,There is a fix for that, I posted it sometime ago.
It INVOLVES editing the spybot exe FILE.
I'll be back when I find it.You will need to Google & download 'reshacker' first.


"The Problem:
The checkbox needs lowering.
The Solution:
Open reshacker (another excellent program)
Open "TeaTimer.exe" in the spybot folder, make sure tt is not running
Search for "decision" (CTRL-F)

CODE
object cbRemember: TCheckBox
Left = 8
Top = 160
Width = 339
Height = 17
ANCHORS = [akLeft, akTop, akRight]
Caption = '&Remember this decision.'
TabOrder = 2
end


Change "Top = 160" to "Top = 190"
compile script and save
Voila, the checkbox is now below the buttons. "
Made the changes, now I will have to try and load something and see what it does

Thanks,Just try & change your IE homepage.I changed the home page and it is the same. I went back and checked my settings and the top was back to "160" again. I performed the task a couple times and it kept going back to 160 setting.

When I am saving the work. Its when I go to close the ResHacker page after clicking "compile script" then box opens up to save the change. Then I am to type something in and ckick save.

Am I missing something? Or not saving in the right place? I saw in the "action" column there were were "saves" there as well.

thanks,It's been some time since I did this but I can tell you it works for sure.
I guess you have to save it as the same file name and in the same location as the original file.
You have the right idea about compiling.
Make a copy of the original and save it in a temp location in case you screw it up.
After that just go for it.
Try saving in the other 'saves' place too.Just got it figured out. I can see the "Allow" box now!

Is this FLAW in the Tea Timer on everyones computer that use this Spybot feature?

I'm figuring it is?

Fed, thanks for the help on this.



No, it doesn't seem to be on all computers.
It's got me beat why they just don't release a patch for it. I have two computers. And was that way on both of them. (A home built with XP Pro and an older Compaq Presario 5000 with ME on it).

Well one now . The Compaq.

A friend of mine has an older Hewlett Packard with ME on it and his is the same way.

Thanks again for the help.
