Lost prefs file

[foamy]

After weeks of struggling to get my NVidia drivers removed and replaced I finally have the system working great, I can now switch in and out of the game without getting a black screen, graphics work fine and the "ESC" key gets me back to desktop from a game.

Only one small problem remains:

Each time I load up CMAK or CMBO I get the "Do you want this screen resolution quetion."

I found out that I have no prefs file in either CMBO or CMAK.

Anyone know how I can get these files back so I don't keep getting the Screen resolution question.

Cancel my request for help - just found out that if I close the games by "retreating" instead of closing from "Task Manager" the prefs file get written all works fine when I re-start.

(I got into the habit of using Task Manager to exit while my graphics card driver was messed up)

Yep, that's the answer. If CM doesn't exit normally (Alt-Q, etc.), then it doesn't have a chance to write out the Prefs file. Which necessitates selecting the resolution (and whatever other setting within CM) each time until a normal exit is performed and the file written out.
