bethini (and launcher) settings don't seem to be saving

[hal900x]

I posted this in the mods forum but I think it applies to vanilla as well, since the Oblivion Launcher had the same issue before modding. However, I had hoped that Bethini wouldn't have the same issue. In the launcher, clicking on a preset will immediate re-check vsync option after I unchecked it. Bethini does the same. If I exit Bethini and then relaunch it, it's back to showing the recommended tweaks unchecked again, etc. Does Bethini read Oblivion.ini each time it launches? I should hope so. I confirmed it's not read-only, so I'm not sure what's causing this. Note that this behavior is without actually running the game.

Well do you run your game as administrator? Did you allow Oblivion to make changes to your home directory? You need to do both.

[hal900x]

Indeed I do run all things Oblivion as admin. Not sure how you allow it to make changes, but it was able to write to it, else the ini wouldn't be there right? Does Oblivion have a service account you need to manually grant Modify to or something?

Is your Oblivion.ini set as read only (Oblivion Reloaded will set it that way ... which will remain even after OR is uninstalled)?

Nope, read-only attribute was first thing I checked. And I'm 95% sure this behavior was occurring in the launcher pre-mods, not that I have anything as radical as OR installed. IIRC others have seen this behavior in vanilla as well, though I couldn't tell you where I saw that. Regardless, I'll go ahead and post my mod list anyway:
