i had the same problem i found out that the folder DayZ inside \%USER%\Documents was write protected, i did a backup of the files inside removed the folder and recreated it by hand and placed the files inside again that worked for me

um well for me its

C:\Users\ToxiN\Documents\DayZ

3 files inside copy them somewhere like on the desktop

delete that DayZ folder (right click -> delete)

then create that folder again with right click New-> Folder rename it to DayZ

then copy thoes 3 files from the desktop back into that folder

that trick worked for me and my settings get saved again

right click on the config files, go to properties, make sure "read-only" isnt ticked. i had that problem, i could change the settings, but if i went back into options, or reloaded the game, they would be gone.  hope this helps. otherwise you can try moving all the files out as mentioned above, but then load the game up without them, and it should make a new config file...i think
