Any chance that on (Arrow) | Preferences, somehow "Save Preferences" was not checked?

I had to reinstall 99SE with SP6. On previous installations, I installed all of the features, including things I never used. Installation and operation were generally flawless. The reason I did this reinstall is because I had virus and after spending some time hunting it down, it was quicker for me to reformat my drive, then re load software . On my new install, I decided to uncheck some of the default features like PLD which I never use, I opened 99SE and tried to set up my Client preferences ( ie where to store my backups, how many to store, custom keys etc and compress after closing ). When I closed out Client 99SE, none of these settings would take hold. I tried it 4- 5 times and it would never take hold of my settings. I examined Client.ini file and it just would not re write the file . Also I believe the default setting for SP 6 is to compress after closing, the ddb files would not compress I keep a second hard drive with DATA and back up files only, no operating system stuff on it . On this drive I also had a backup of my previous Client installation. I copied the old ini files into my Windows/ directory the program hic cupped ( not all of the servers were there) when I started it. But when I closed it my custom settings took hold., with my old ini files I really cant spend the time to do another install to try to repeat it but , my lesson is let all of the defaults alone on the installation. It used to work flawlessly for me. So I really don't know if this was a bug , * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * To leave this list visit: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/leave.html * * Contact the list manager: * mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Forum Guidelines Rules: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/forumrules.html * * Browse or Search previous postings: * http://www.mail-archive.com/proteledaforum@techservinc.com * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
