I get the same problem, but the other way around and Tiberian Dawn doesn't save ANY settings. It also plays the 'install' video every time too. I played Red Alert first so I assume that's part of the issue?

I was struggling with the same issue for a while. After a power failure/black screen on my computer while booting TD, all settings and progress in TD were reset. And everytime I quit, progress wouldn't be saved. Settings, campaign progress et.c. are all stored in files called "Player_TD_settings_1" and "Player_RA_settings 1". In my case the settings file for TD stopped updating after playing. It'd also keep synchronizing with a seemingly corrupt file from the steam cloud. Another problem I believe is that the cloud storage quickly fills up with a lot of save games (both RA and TD savegames are stored together), which seems to create trouble with updating the setting files that are also backed up in the cloud. What I ended up doing was deleting every file in the cloud, and that finally made TD work again.
There are a few ways of doing this. One was is to delete every save file ingame. You may of course manually make a backup if you wish to keep some of them (you can re-add them later). I, however, only got results follow the instructions on this website.Most of my save files wouldn't appear in-game, so deleting them from there wasn't an option.I also made sure to backup "Player_RA_settings 1"-file to preserve the progress I had made in RA. Then I moved it back into the userdata directory once I had fixed the overfilled steam cloud.
