Desktop/Pinboard settings not "sticking"

[AlanJM]

I successfully installed Teen Pup 2009 on two PCs, running extremely awesome even on an elderly HP Pavilion.

However, a reboot yeilds the following on both machines:

The toolbar (panel) and Karamba go right back to the default positions after moving them prior to the reboot and the tool tips come back up even if the checkbox is unchecked to show at boot up- any ideas?

All other icons, etc are showing fine.
