We don't have a crystal ball.
So you have to specify how you operate/how you installed
The machine specifications.
An exactly what goes on on the screen
Eventually with screen shots.
Time savers:
Find packages in a snap and install using Puppy Package Manager (Menu).

is this your first boot? are you booting live from cd/dvd, usb or a full hd or frugal install? you should be offered the chance to create a save file when you shut down after your first boot of a puppy otherwise all settings are lost.

if you make a mistake with that first save file you may boot into ram mode and create another so do not panic, it may seem confusing at first but you will not break anything. try following the on screen instructions the best you can and report back if you don't get any further.

There is no saving screen when shutting down, black out.
Spec :
intel core i7, 8Gb RAM, 1 Terabyte HDrive.

I'm booting puppy from USB flash disk.

Last time when I was using version 4.2, I had found saving setting screen when I shutted down puppy.

What do you mean black out?

How did you install to USB flash?
Specific details.

Why did you use netbootin?
Normally one boots from the live CD and takes the bootflash installer (menu) to USB to make a USB flash install.

I used netbootin because i wanted directly install puppy in the flash.
Now I'm using 4.31 and it can save my personal setting.
and I was using unetbootin too for writing 4.31 to flash

I didn't know why luppu can't save setting...

I have no problems for 5.25 to save the settings.
But I don't use the netbootin.
Developers have developed the install facility like boot flash install.
I really don't see why people want to do things differently.
