I had same problem on my laptop with Win7 (32 bit). The cause of problem is that game is not able to modify file "Engine.config" in game directory due lack of permissions for currently logged user. You need to give that permissions manualy. To solve problem right click on folder "Alter Ego" and then choose Properties. On newly opened window go to Security tab and Edit permissions to allow current user modification of game files. I hope this helps.
