I cannot save

[Sugarnaut]

Im in the chancel but need to turn back to the choir and the other room (forgot the name, where you get orb pieces) and i play the game normally and i go through the first orb rooms with the torture chambers then to the choir. when i save and exit it works fine and i go to the main menu. but next time i want to play i start at the chancel again. First i thought i pressed the wrong button but then i made sure i pressed the right one and it still didn't save the next time i played the game. Any suggestions what is causing the issue and any way to fix it?
