Hello Serge,  
There’s an open thread on this exact topic where several troubleshooting suggestions have already been made.  
I’ve pasted the link below.  
Let me know if this helps you; you’re at liberty to post your results here, or there, or in both threads.

> Installing FxSound works fine however, after it’s done installing, opening the app causes the “Settings file not found!” error window to appear and the app to not launch. FxSoundEnhancer (FxSoundPremium) works, but that’s on a limited demo, so I cannot rely on that. Does anyone know how to fix the “Settings file not found!” error? I’m willing to provide more info if needed.
