Hello Joe,
Your System Preferences settings should stick, so it looks as though you
have a problem somewhere.
First thing to do is repair permissions. To do this, open the Utilities
folder (Cmd-Shift-u) and find Disk Utility. In Disk Utility, interact with
the table and select the second row which should be your HD. Stop
interacting and navigate right to select First Aid. Then go right again to
Repair Disk Permissions. Click this and wait. You can see what's happening
by interacting with the Results table.
If this doesn't fix your problem, try resetting the PRAM. To do this, shut
down your computer, then hold down the Command, Option, letter P and letter
R keys and, keeping these four held down, press the Power key and release
it. Hold down the four keys until you've heard the start up chime four
times, then release them and let the machine boot as normal.
If all this fails, you'll need to throw away the plist for System
Preferences. It will be rebuilt immediately, so don't worry. You'll find
this plist in your Home Library in the folder called Preferences (not
Preference Panes). The file is called com.apple.systempreferences.plist. The
Library folder is hidden but you can get to it in the Finder by pressing
Cmd-Shift-g and typing "~/Library" without the quotes. You can put a
shortcut to this folder in your sidebar by pressing Cmd-t once you've found
the folder for the first time. Thereafter, you'll just need to find it in
the sidebar.
Cheers,
Anne

Hi Folks,
I set the behaviour of function keys in system preferences, so the box is
checked to have f1 et cetera behave as they need to for voiceover, then we
reboot, and the check has leaped out of the box, and the function keys
have reverted back.
to there original assignments.
This machine, does not display The login screen, just goes straight to the
desktop.
Anybody have an idea how to keep certain keyboard settings in system prefs
in lion after reboot?? I guess there could be other areas where settings
are not maintained. But what good is a guess?
Thanks good people.
