Pali,

Your fix created the directory and the conf.txt file. Adjusting the control panel now works, and changes are reflected in the the conf.txt file.
However, for whatever reason there is no missed call/sms display in the status menu area. Nor do the vibrate or sound reminders occur.
So whilst the control panel appears to adjust the settings. It does not appear that the program is working. Any suggestions?

Thanks.
