Maybe this could be the problem.
Steps:

1) Right click on game window.
2) Left click "settings."
3) Left click the icon with a green arrow pointing to a folder.
4) Analyze how much information can be stored on your computer. You're probably on your own after this step, but maybe your current setting is stuck too low for the game to save.

For the most part this seems like a good idea. But there is a catch...Flash games are not like other games. They do not have a save folder or app folder. All the cached files are under C://Username/Appdata/Roaming/Macromedia or /Appdata/Local/Macromedia, and are not under the game name, but a jumbled hash of numbers and letters. These files consist of your cookies, cached elements(they are whh the game loads in a split second unlike the first time loading), and other crap. What makes it difficult is there is no clue which file goes to what game. Dwlete one, and you might be completely wrong about your hunch.

So yeah...logically the idea is nice if applications worked like that, but realistically its a giant techncal hell.
