Spybot Tea Timer

Have got this up and running on clean PC, but I can't read the two little boxes(inside the main box) and options asking me if I want to allow changes or not- they are not showing up all of the text and I can't seem to expand them to read it. Assume the one on the left is to allow change and the one on the right is not. Hope you can understand what I mean

I had the same problem when I used to use it.
Couldn't even select the correct box with the mouse.

I experimented to find out how many tab presses to make it select yes and how many to make it select no and that worked

These days I have that bit of Spybot switched off and use MS Antispyware's constant scanner instead

Click in the Spybot window to make it active.
Press A for Allow registry changes.
OR
Press D for Deny registry changes.

It's absolutely scandalous that they haven't bothered to fix this trivial problem which has been there since about July 2005. If you look on the support forums there are some suggested fixes to make the buttons more visible (which is why I know it is a trivial problem!).

Thnaks John. I did even think of switching it off as it was annoying me.

I used Resource Hacker ("Reshacker") to fix mine manually. Have to be careful though .... technically that's breaking the EULA. You're not supposed to muck around with the program in this manner.

It does work though. Fairly straightforward procedure.
