My installation isn't 'sticky'...

[carlosp_uk]

Hi there

 

I've just installed OS X for the first time and I'm really impressed. (running on a MSI Wind Clone, so now have a lovely tiny netbook )

 

The only problem seems to be that some configuration changes don't seem to be 'sticky', they go away randomly after a reboot, then sometimes reappear. For example:

 

- Keyboard map layout.

I've copied a layout to ~\Library\Keyboard Layout and successfully selected it in the 'International' preferences pane. However, when I reboot sometimes it appears in the menu at the top of the screen for selection, sometimes not!

 

- PowerSaving Bundle

Sometimes when I boot up, the battery icon for a laptop is there, but sometimes it just says 'No batteries found'.

 

 

I have tried fixing disk permissions for all these, but no joy. Does anybody have a theory they could help me out with on why OS X is being so temperamental?

PS: I am dual-booting with XP.
