Would it be best for me to remove the Tea Timer program altogether and just load in the normal Spybot program that I had previously or could that cause problems?. Perhaps I should reinstall Tea Timer so that I can read the windows correctly?.

Depends if you want realtime protection against spyware/registry modifications.

If I remove Tea Timer can it cause any problems in the Registry?

415353 2005-12-24 03:53:00 None other than possible ones caused by spyware Dannz (1668)

Yes but I don't know what I did the PC came up with the following:-
System Config Utility
You have used the System Config Utility to make changes to the way windows starts.
The System Configuration Utility - currently in Diagnostic or Selective Startup Mode causing this message to be displayed and the Utility to run every time windows starts.
Choosed the Normal Startup Mode on the General tab to start windows normally and undo the changes you made using the confirg utility

Oh dear what did I do?

415358 2005-12-24 04:37:00 I assume you changed something in system config (msconfig) - Did you take TeaTimer out of there? Dannz (1668)
415359 2005-12-24 06:05:00 Use this program to disable programs that you do not want to run at start up including Teatimer, absolutely recommended by all who use it. Do not use msconfig to do the job.

If you want to really get down to brass tacks then use autoruns, but my advice is to go with the first program until you understand more about how the computer is set up:
