This may well be right - ideally gnubg should work as a limited user on xp (which means no writing to program files).

Maybe this can be got around by specifying a different data directory on the command line?

I had the same problem, and I think it was because I was running as a limited user under Windows XP Pro. The gnubgautorc file is located within Program Files and so is (I think) inaccessible to a limied user. However if you run as an administrator and save your settings, they are then availalbe as a limited user!

Hmmmm.....

Each time you select "Save Settings" from the menu, GNU Backgammon should save the settings to a file called .gnubgautorc. You should also see a message in the status bar, (or the message window) like: 'Settings saved to ./.gnubgautorc'.

Can you check if you get this message?

Can you also check the date of the .gnubgautorc file. Does that correspond to the time you pressed "Save settings"?

I have downloaded the lastest windows version and GNU wont save my settings. Every time I open GNU, other settings than those chosen by me, appear. I have uninstalled and downloaded a new version but the problem remains. Could I please have some suggestions to rectify the problem? Dont know the release level.

Best regards,
Erik
