Config settings help

Well after some time of lurking I hit a spot where I need some help, recently changed jobs, got to the new job and was changing settings in the config to match the settings I had at my previous employment and I must have gotten something mixed up.

After changing the settings I went to draw a simple box(with the create rectangular shaped option) with radiuses in the corners, it didn't want to do the rads.....no biggie, I'll just do it the old fashoned way and draw them myself....wouldn't do it, kept popping up a warning box telling me it couldn't do a 2D radius. After some time messing arround I found that if I switched the current file in the config menu to metric then it would draw "normally" again so I started going through my settings switching back and forth between the metric and english and noticed on the start/exit page that the 3D was selected on the english and 2D in metric so I changed the english to 2D and that fixed that problem so I called it a night and went home..... fast forward to today, drew a simple box, put some holes in it created some cutterpath tried to backplot it and it pops up "warning-profile is not correct" then when I try to post the operations it is also popping up all kinds of warnings......does anyone have any thoughts what I screwed up ha ha!! If not does anyone have the original english config file they could send me to get this thing back to operating order?

thanks for any help!

To get the original config files back ( Metric or Imperial )

Move the file to another location,
Mastercam will re-create the missing default files on opening

open both files in the Cimco or Mastercam editor and compare, if desired, and bring your settings across
