cannot save my cisco running config to memory/startup config

Every time I power up my cisco 1721 router it goes into the system config dialog and prompts to enter the initial configuration dialog.
I try to copy running-conf startup-conf and it succeeds. I can then show startup-config and it shows the settings that I've configured. However I then reload the router and it's lost the settings.
Why is this?

Can you send the commands what you have issued to copy running-config to startup-config.

 I think there must be some mistake..check it out.
Your configuration register may not be set correctly and the router may be ignoring the configuration in NVRAM (startup-configuration).  Can you post a "show version" to verify.

Yeah I had the same thing happen to me

And it is because of the config register, but the above command did not work for me.

I used:

config-register 0x2102

and it worked
