max 2008 customized settings

[mesht]

I've just migrated from max 9 to 2008, and was setting my usual preferred settings when 2 items doesn't seem to take effect. 1st the display settings and the user path.

 

i've switched to OpenGL and ticked the necessary options, and when i closed max, and open again, the changes still wasn't updated. next, when i set my customized user paths, the missing maps message still appears even though i've stripped all my maps and re-set them to the correct path.
