can't save keyboard setting

I run the game (V 1.3.7) under W7 and can't save my keyboard settings. First, they work during the game but after restarting the game, the settings are on standard again. The error is reproducible for me.
What can I do? I don't know much about Windows anymore, I use it for gaming only.

Those settings get saved in your documents folder, in almost human grimrock subfolder in a .cfg file. Maybe for some reason your system is not saving that file, something to do with permissions perhaps.

As Komag said, it's likely a permissions error. However, if you really can't get the settings to stick, then you can always edit the config file with a text editor. Make sure you close down Grimrock first (otherwise, it will likely overwrite your changes), and then find the config file at:
C:\Users\<User>\Documents\Almost Human\Legend of Grimrock\grimrock.cfg
Around line 35, you will see the section -- key bindings, which defines all of the core keyboard commands for the game. Note that each command is mapped to a number, which is a 'Windows Virtual-Key Code' in decimal format. You can see a full list of those codes
here.

Windows and rights-management? funny...
OK, joking aside. As far as I understand, all permissions are granted. But editing grimrock.cfg seems to be the workaround. It works.
Thanks. Again.
