Thanks Don, I apreciate a lot,though I think I've found out the cause:

I play the game (CD 2.51v WinXP)on my sister's laptop where I have my own user profile, meaning I don't have full acces to the system, even when I run the game I can't modify any of the parameters of the intro selection screen because I get the "Unable to write to (...)camogame.ini", so, now that you say the Game Preferences.ini file has something to to do with this I guess maybe that's why none of my selections on the preference screen stays because it can't write to that file. I can't run a test right now due to the lack of her password, but I'll let you know. I'm not a PC wizard or whatever but does that make sense to you?

BTW I have no problem with the game, it runs like a charm on this laptop, my preference screen selections take effect until re/entering, and I have them customized to my choice, so, I can live with a host user profile.
