Solitaire saved games not working

I have yet to figure out the trick to saving the games. Tried the options
"Always save game on exit" and "Always continue saved game" but never get the
score back that was there when I exited. I've deleted all references to saved
games and reset everything back to zero and still when I start Sol it comes
up with some wierd score.

I'm almost convinced I'm doing something wrong or don't understand the
concept. Anyone else seeing this behavior?
