Do you mean you are logging in under the Administrator account? That would
explain most of those problems. (But what is the "Check Configuration"
link?)

Komodo configuration is per-user. You want to be logged into the same
account your normally use, but with elevated privileges. So try what Robert
described instead: log in under your normal user account. Find Komodo in
the Start menu, right-click it and click "Run as administrator". (Make sure
Komodo isn't already running before you do that.)

Now Komodo should still see your user paths and other configuration
details, and the "Re-apply settings to system" button in Komodo's Windows
Configuration panel should work.

If I misunderstood what you tried, please forgive me and explain in more
detail so I have a better clue. :-)

    Hello,<br>
    I too am having problems with Komodo-7.1 resolving my preferences
    file. While this problem of file associations (with the
    Administrator login work around) does work on my installation I now
    have a new problem. When I click on the &quot;Check Configuration&quot;=
 link
    Komodo will just sit there and grind away indefinitely, with no
    report being displayed. When I login (as Administrator) and edit my
    preference file Komodo can not find my python or python3 installs.
    When I insert these various locations manually Komodo will not
    remember them. <br>
    <br>
    I&#39;ve tried changing file and directory ownership with no change in
    behavior. I have also changed file and directory permissions and
    that produced no change either.<br>
    <br>
    I&#39;m running an HP Pavilion box with Windows 7 O/S.<br>
    The box is up-to-date with all Windows 7 upgrades and security
    patches installed.<br>
    I had been running Komodo-7.0 without issues except the old and
    ongoing problem with &quot;file associations&quot;. I completed a succe=
ssful
    upgrade to Komodo-7.1 via the &quot;Check for Updates&quot; menu. I als=
o tried
    a fresh full install Komodo-7.1 package and still no joy.<br>

      Thanks for the tip! Unfortunately, when I tried this, it didn&#39;t
      work for me. I no longer saw the error after pressing the
      &quot;re-apply settings to system&quot; button, but the associations =
weren&#39;t
      made, neither the ones I added via the &quot;configure common
      associations...&quot; dialog (like .js) nor one I added manually via
