Input/Control-Key-Settings wont save

I'm not sure if this is a bug or a problem of my installation.

Every time I start the game, I have to modify my input-settings.
I face the same problems with the GUI settings (tried to set window to fullscreen).

Please tell if it is a bug or a problem with my installation.

I'm playing it on a iMac with VMWare installed and Win7 running.

Hey there, it sounds like the client can't save/write the changes to the config file.

Double-check your permissions and make sure the game has write access to your HDD.
Thank you for this hint.
Unfortunately I#m not familiar with Windows (I'm Mac-User)

First: I reinstalled POE, but this changed nothing.

There were 2 Directories of the Game:

1) C:/Programms/Grinding Gear Games/Path of Exile/
2) C:/User/"My Name"/Own Dokuments/My Games/ => since the new installation it's gone.

I noticed that the directories are write-protected. I tried to change this, but it didn't work (after closing the properties-window its write-protected again).

As I can see, the permissions are okay (SYSTEM and everyone has full permissions).

Also I looked for settings in VMWare. But I couldn't find any.
Now I changed every User-Rights to everyone read/Write. No change.

As I'm writing this post, I noticed, that my Account is not verified. I did it several times. Maybe there is the fault?
Perhaps: Might there be a way to manually save the settings by hacking in the appropriate file?

There should be, though I'm not sure as I don't use the mac client/trick etc.

"I noticed that the directories are write-protected. I tried to change this, but it didn't work (after closing the properties-window its write-protected again)."

That is going to be your issue :(
This is an Article about the write protection of Folders:

http://www.drwindows.de/windows-anleitungen-und-faq/29781-die-legende-vom-schreibschutz-alle-ordner-schreibgeschuetzt.html

It says that every folder shows the protection, but isn't write protected though.
If you uncheck the protection it only change the protection of the files tu writeable.

I still don't know how the permissions should look like.
