Ok, been on every forum I could find and finally found that I needed to right click on the game screen to correct the "hardware accelleration" and memory size (increase to 10MB).
10MB?! Usually 100KB is enough for the cache. (you could try bringing that back down to 100KB and see if there's any change)
Or...
As a Windows user you have two options in the event you keep loosing saved games:
> Download and use the saves.exe program (which will copy your saved game ".sol" file someplace safe and allow you to reload before you restart the game)
Link:
http://machinarium.net/download/saves.exeWhere it's discussed here on the forum:

If you take this route: Please post any follow up questions about the saves.exe here ]
> Read up about the machinarium.sol file, in
this thread. And then learn how to actually swap out or replace your machinarium.sol file
here. It's not difficult; it's just a matter of copy/pasting a machinarium.sol file into a specific directory on your XP.

If you take this route, of swapping out .sol files, please post follow up questions in the Shared Machinarium.sol files section of the forum ]
