When I launch the game, I get a window saying "Error wad encountered when writing the configuration file and the settings could not be saved. Do you want to run the game with previous settings anyway ?"

Whatever I answer, the game lauches with the default config, and no change is applied ?

What could be the problem ?

When I use the launcher, it says it "Error was found when writing tot he configuration file and the settings could not be saved. Do you want to run the game in previous settings anyway?". What should I do?
You probably installed Darkest Hour in C:\Program Files or under another protected folder in Windows Vista/7 with UAC enabled. There are multiple solutions:
1) reinstall in another folder (default is C:\Games\Darkest Hour)
2) run the game as Administrator
3) give full/write access to Darkest Hour\settings.cfg for your user
