FL Won''t Load After Restart! Please Help!

Please help, when I first install the game, and run it, it runs great.. Graphics are all maxed out, sound works, etc.. Its fantastic.. But after I reboot my computer, it wont run. It goes to a black screen, and just sits there instead of playing the intro.. I just dont understand it.. If I uninstall, and reinstall it.. Itll work again, but once I reboot the pc.. It does the same thing.. Is there anything I can do? I really love this game.

AMD Athlon 1150mhz
Windows98SE
Geforce4 MX 128mb AGP
767mbs of ram
DirectX 9.0b

Oh, and also. I have not installed any mods.. Ive installed that FL SDK 1.3 thing.. But thats it.. And it did it even before id ever installed that..
It just doe'snt make any logical sense.. What changes between the time, I quit playing the game, and reboot.. To possibly make it stop working.. Oh, and I do get that does not recognize graphics card thing. But I ignore it, and the game would run fine.. So I dont know if that has anyhting to do with it.. Its just so weird...
I saw, somthing about deleting the autosave.. If this works, will I have to do this every time?

Hmm, well it seems that using the mod manager to delete the autosave, fixed the problem, cause it loaded.. Thing is.. Will I have to delete the autosave everytime I wanna play it after a system restart?

You may have to , as the autosave file may become corrupted after each crash.
