I am running Vista Ultimate also on one PC here at home.
Are you using a shortcut on your desktop to run the OptionChooser program?
When the OptionsChooser program runs, it looks at the directory it was started in to determine the path to the UI files. It sounds as though the location of the UI files pointed to by the shortcut have changed since the shortcut was first made by the installer program.
If this is the case, just delete the OptionsChooser shortcut and manually create another. To create a new one just browse to your gameclient\ui\custom directory and right click on the OptionsChooser.exe file. Select the "Create Shortcut" option. After you have created the new shortcut, just drag and drop it on your desktop and that should correct the problem you are having saving the settings.

The transparent quickbar is set with the QuickBar option. If you changed the transparent quickbar setting, it will overwrite any previous setting you had made when you selected the DialogSkin.
If you DO NOT want to use a transparent QuickBar:
First set the Quickbar option to Disable.
Next reselect the DialogSkin you had choosen to re-apply the original (solid) quickbar.
Note: You must set the Quickbar option first and then the DialogSkin option if you DO NOT want a transparent quickbar.
If you DO want to use a transparent QuickBar:
First select the DialogSkin you want to use.
Next select the the transparent Quickbar you want to use.
Note: You must set the DialogSkin option first and then the Quickbar option if you DO want a transparent quickbar.
