Having a problem where I load LFS after shutting down my pc, I have to re-assign and edit all my control settings, view settings etc. as LFS will revert it all to default.

I also get "could not load file: 'drivername'" meaning I have to make a new nickname every time this happens too. I've tried a fresh reinstall and this hasn't helped,

has anyone got a fix for this?

Try making sure your LFS directory isn't set to read only (or partially read only).
