There are two reasons that I can think of why this isn't working for
you.

 - You have copies of these modes in UserPrefs but modified the ones in
   Defaults. Open the ModeFile by clicking Adjust on the iconbar icon
   and then Shift click on the mode name in the menu. This will open the
   ModeFile in use, check that it has the OnLoad line.

 - The permission for OnLoad is set to 'N' in the ModeLock file. Open
   the ModeLock file (Ctrl-Select on iconbar icon) to check and alter if
   necessary.

Cheers,
Fred.
