Are you using vista with UAC enabled?

Try and run the game as admin and it should save the settings properly :)

no, using WIndows XP PRO SP2
Also i gave the built in admin disabled and i'm the only one in "admins" category.
Now i keep a separate user.settings to paste over when it happends, it happends rarely now but weirdly for example i lose only autosave frequency number wich reverts to default sometimes. Othertimes the whole file reverts to defaults. This isn't related to game shutdown AFAIK. I even tried setting the gile to readonnly, the game overwrites the file anyway.
