Driver Configuration gets lost when restart

Hi,

I have a problem to save my Viewport Settings.
I wanted my blueprints to look smooth, so I increased the "Background texture size" to 1024 and checked the "Match Bitmap Size as Closely as Possible". I did the same analog to "Download Texture Size".
Everything works fine until I close 3ds Max and open it again.
--> The settings are back do default and my blueprint is blurry.

I searched through lot of forums but I couldn't solve my problem yet.

My teacher told me, that it is a common error...he thinks it might be my ATI graphics card.
Could that be?!

My system:

Windows 7 x64
Intel i5 750 @2,67GHz
6GB DDR3 RAM
ATI Radeon HD5800 Series (new driver!)
3ds Max 2012


Thank you!

Permissions. Those settings are stored in the installtion folder, to which "normal" users do not have write permission.
Run Max as Administrator (either by logging in or using RunAs) then they'll stick.

Max 2016 (SP1/EXT1)
Win7Pro x64 (SP1). i5-3570K @ 4.4GHz, 8Gb Ram, DX11.
nVidia GTX760 (2GB) (Driver 430.86).
