Can't Save Settings Workaround
I'm using CamStudio 2.0 in Win7 64. Although I have "Save settings on exit," I periodically lose some or all of my settings. (It varies.) There was a post about fixing this problem in the 2.5 Beta by replacing a comma with a period in the CamStudio.ini file. See exerpt below. However, in my ver2.0, there is no comma problem in CamStudio.ini. I haven't found any reference to how to correct this problem in ver 2.0. If anyone can advise me, that would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Then, I compared that "CamStudio.ini" with the original from "CamStudio.2.5.b1.bin.zip" and found the culprit: for some reason, when CamStudio exits and saves this file, it changes the first line from this:
[ CamStudio Settings ver2.50 -- Please do not edit ]
to this
[ CamStudio Settings ver2,50 -- Please do not edit ]
It writes a comma (between numbers 2 and 5) where a dot should be. And the bug only seems to be triggered by entering in "Options -> Video options". It doesn't matter if you then change a setting and press OK or if you just Cancel without changing anything.
If I open "CamStudio.ini", change the comma for a dot, save the file and then open CamStudio, now "my" settings are there, instead of the deafaults.

Thanks for discovering that glitch, I'll speak with Jan to see if that has been fixed in the 2.6 releases.
