beta 0.7.0RC2 keeps wiping all settings and running through

Hi all,

this is my first post so please be kind

i have been using the beta releases for 0.7.0 since they started and all has been running well and really good up til the point i updated to RC2 which since i have done that i have had nothing but problems.

1) when it first installed it wiped all my settings and i had to start from scratch and then readd all the stuff that was in my queue already again
2) it has taken me through the wizard 4 times now each time it has wiped everything and I've started from scratch again
3) the api keys keep changing and i cant get them to stay at the ones I've always had as its not easy to distribute the same key to many apps and computers when its always changing
4) also its stopped importing NZB's atomaticly

so any ideas and help would be great or I'm gonna have to go back to the version before RC2

TIA

I doubt that going back to any Beta would help.
It seems that something else is going on, on your system.
Does the run the Wizard (and the subsequent restart) leave sabnzbd.ini file in the profile?
(See here for its location: http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/configure-v2 )
Try to open it with a text editor.

Please try RC2 again and check if this is persistent behaviour.
There have been 0 changes between B8 and RC2 regarding INI handling.
