spybot display problem

has anyone using spybot noticed that when it prompts you to accept or deny a change that the accept and deny buttons dont display properly. have seen that recently when installing on new machines. have tried changing graphics settings no effect.

not a big deal just wondering if anyone else is seeing this or am i going nuts.

 

petec

thank you very much.

have clients that even after showing them the area to click on for ya or nay they keep calling saying they dont see it - driving me nuts.

again thanks hopefully a fix is forthcoming.

 

again i thank you petec

 

SIMPLE Fix for Spybot Alert Pop-up Display Problem

gghartman, since your Computer Experience is "experienced ", I thought you might be willing to try a "do it yourself" fix I did a few months ago.

If that display glitch really starts to bother you, you may want to try a fix I found on the official Spybot S&D forums:

Be sure TeaTimer is NOT running while you apply the fix.

I applied this fix in the summer with no apparent ill effects. I don't run TeaTimer now since I use a different registry monitor but TeaTimer did work well when I was using it after the fix.

IMO, that alert popup glitch in SS&D is a major bug since I regularly got those alert popups for awhile when I was tweaking my security settings and such last summer. I was surprised an official patch/update was not issued quickly.

Moderators: I looked in the Spybot S&D v1.4 license agreement and didn't find any statements that appear to prohibit this fix. I found the fix in the official Spybot S&D forums and the fix still exists in the forums. I looked through several follow-up posts and did not see any moderator/administrator/author objections to the fix. Therefore, I do not think I am violating the Windows BBS Posting Rules. If you still find it necessary to delete this post, you won't get any arguments from me.

i like those links you sent. i will give it a try on the next machine i have on my bench. thats pretty slick to be able to modify an .exe file and then recompile.

i do also agree with one person on your link that all you got to do is click right above the X mark and it works. very interesting readings those post were.

thanks to all.

 

That's exactly the reason I was surprised a patch/update wasn't issued quickly by the author(s) of SS&D. Since you stated the fix is "unbelievably simple ", I took the liberty of adding a descriptive title to my above post.

Thanks for your replies and blessing, Pete. I certainly don't want to jeopardize my reputation on this (or any other) BBS/forum.

I was also hesitant to apply the fix when I first discovered it because the fix was posted by someone with a low post count. I read through follow-up posts then and, after seeing so many replies where people stated it "worked like a charm ", I took a chance and I'm glad I did.
