Reply to Help! Settings Not Saving, and Weird Settings on Startup

Hi all. I have three problems, and I would love some help. One is that when I open traktor with my custom F1 mapping, the key of the left deck jumps to +10. The second is that the deck focus under global settings in preferences keeps reverting to hardware. And the third is that effect 3 is turned on when i import, and i want it to default to off.
I've exported my settings with these problems solved, but when I reimport the same file, both after quitting traktor and trying it without closing, the problems are still there. I don't want to have to remember to tweak these settings every time i open traktor.
Any ideas?
Thanks for the help.
