Default Reaper.ini getting corrupted quite often

I can get this corruptions all day long. If I close reaper and reopen again, looks different, doesn't remember settings, UI tweaks, etc.

If anyone knows why this may be happening, suggestions are welcome.

I have my .ini file backed up and thats how I recovered my setup.

Still a PITA to have to rewrite it 2 or 3 times a day just because.

Hmm maybe you're running one copy as administrator or in a portable install? Or you don't have write permissions to the reaper.ini in question?

Hi, Justin.

Nope, no portable install nor administrator rights to run reaper. I have read some other forum posts with similar issues. How can I help to resolve this?

When you open REAPER, you can also go to "Options->Show REAPER Resource Path" to see what path it is using for your configuration state... See if it is an unexpected path?
