My immediate guess is that you're copying the wrong prefs folder. Maya has this weird thing that it installs its folders and system files to more than one location. If you grab the wrong one things will tend not to go your way.

Delete the Maya prefs folder by going to C:\Documents and Settings\**UserName**\My Documents\maya\**version #**\prefs - and delete everything inside that folder.

Then restart Maya so that it resets everything to default.

Redo your key bindings and layout then close Maya.

Go back to that same folder and make a copy of it and put it somewhere where you can find it later if need be. When you restart Maya everything should be the way you left it.

Remember that if you make any further changes you need to copy that folder again.
