[I´m assuming XEmacs 20.4]

What settings? Fonts and colors? Then have a look at the XEmacs FAQ
(in the Help menu),
 * Q3.0.7::      Font selections don't get saved after `Save Options'.

Another possibility is that you have a simple syntax error in the
config file(s), so executions stops. Check Help| Recent Messages.

A Poor Man´s Debug is putting 
 (message "Hello World!")
at some places in the .emacs or .xemacs-options file.

Loading the .xemacs-options: have you something like the following in
your .emacs? (should have been added automatically)

;; Options Menu Settings
;; =====================
(cond
 ((and (string-match "XEmacs" emacs-version)
       (boundp 'emacs-major-version)
       (or (and
            (= emacs-major-version 19)
            (>= emacs-minor-version 14))
           (= emacs-major-version 20))
       (fboundp 'load-options-file))
  (load-options-file "/home/colin/.xemacs-options")))
;; ============================
;; End of Options Menu Settings

It also helps if you mention the program version when asking for
help. :-)

Cheers,
