Preferences Not Saving

Question

I'm having trouble getting Quicken to remember my preferences.  For a while now, it won't remember to download transactions from all accounts, I need to check the boxes each time I run the one step update.  Now, it enabled the setting that all downloaded transactions are automatically added to the register.  I don't like that feature so I turn it off, but every time I exit and re-open the application the checkboxes are checked again to automatically add downloaded transactions to the register.  I have completely uninstalled, cleared registry, install files, backups, etc... everything but my data file... and reinstalled 3 times.  Same result.  No preferences I change will stick.

Yeah - I tried validation and super validation a couple times with the same results after each run.  Thanks though!

I ran the validation and the log lit up like a Christmas tree.  I've been using the same file for many, many years and have noticed weirdness for a while.  After looking at some other threads I've determined my best option is to create a new file and start over.  Lesson learned to validate more often and pay attention to little quirks that may indicate a bigger problem.  Thanks!
