PC Version don´t save config

I set the graphics, enabling and disabling some effects, change the resolution...
But when i exit the game and load again, the setup hasn´t been saved.
All effects are disabled and the resolution are 640x480.

I try to change directly in registry without success...

Is there any file that this settings are stored??

Thanks for all

When you have done the changes you want, you don't hit escape or back button.

Press ENTER button to save the settings.

Yup - I've had a slightly different problem.

I started a second career, but all my carefully-configured control options had reset to default. I wondered why my car slowed to a halt in the first race in the intro...

However, they were fine on my first saved game still.

When I started my 3rd career, the control options stayed correct.

Just a random bug, I guess :?

If you have a firewall of some kind it could prevent the game from changing the registry data.

Or your profile has limited rights (that is, not admistrative or power user).

i bet you didn't use auto save, if you use manul save, then every time you change something, you need go to "porfile", and use that "save" button.

hope this could help

If autosave is disabled and you make changes settings, the game will prompt you to save the profile when you exit the options section. You are saying yes to that too?

You just have to save after every race and that's it. Thing is that if you get busted and you have autosave, Good bye marker, Or good bye money. :P

Like someone else mentioned, chances are you're not the Administrator and you can't change the game settings. It used to happen when I played NFS UG on my dad's computer. He made me a separate profile so I wouldn't mess around with his work but when I played NFS UG, it wouldn't save anything, not even the career progress.

It's funny that I turned off autosave in MW on my computer but the game crashed once, while I did a few races and I didn't save, yet when I got back into the game, the races were recorded as finished.
