    Preferences.ini reverting back often?

    I'm running SM5 (Simply Love theme) on Windows 7. Options like judge and lifebar don't ever change, but I have to use the WaveOut fix to prevent arrow stutter. Problem is preferences.ini seems to change back to "SoundDrivers=" instead of "SoundDrivers=WaveOut" once every 6 or 7 days. Can anyone help? My gut says this is Windows.
    The above post has a 50% chance of being useless. Potentially. Maybe.

    From what I remember, Simply Love does edit some preferences.ini fields under the hood. That might be the culprit. Also, which SM5 version are you running?

    It happening every 6 or 7 days doesn't make much sense though, unless that's the interval between your sessions or some other system operation (e.g. reboot).

      It might be due to rebooting, since I reboot about that often. Can I stop this if that's the case?

        maybe its cause of where you installed SM, like, its saved in a folder that doesnt have permissions to write

        i remember the old version of SM installed to like, some obscure folder in %appdata% or something, so maybe try to install etterna instead of simply love, in a folder you have read/write access to
