WinUAE won't save Config / Paths

14 January 2018, 02:35

I can't seem to find anything in the forum search or the Google about this issue, but maybe it's something simple??

I've installed WinUAE x64. When I run it, the window will flash/change focus about every 10 seconds, and remove paths I've set. I'm trying to create a new configuration (Save As), but after I do, it constantly flashes and sets the old configuration.

I've tried to uninstall/reinstall, run as Admin, use a different install drive, deleted the Documents/AmigaFiles/WinUEA directory etc, but it keeps flashing, resetting defaults, and making the program unusable.

I'm using Windows 10 with an Intel 6700K and Nvidia SLI video cards. Any help is much appreciated!!

Adding this info: I'm using WinUAE v3.5.0. v3.0.0 does not exhibit this behavior.

Does 32-bit version work? 64-bit 3.6 should also work. (not yet officially released)

I have the same problem here. I just installed WinUAE and it does't save my configurations. I tried 32 and 64 bits

Not much information but perhaps config path points in "program files" which is not writable.
