If you face any problem setting it up with GNS3 drop me a message and I will get back to you asap.
GNS3 is an open source (GNU GPL) software that simulates complex networks while being as close as possible from the way real networks perform, all of this without having dedicated network hardware such as routers and switches.
GNS3 provides an intuitive graphical user interface to design and configure virtual networks, it runs on traditional PC hardware and may be used on multiple operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X.
In order to provide complete and accurate simulations, GNS3 actually uses the following emulators to run the very same operating systems as in real networks:
- Dynamips, the well known Cisco IOS emulator.
- VirtualBox, runs desktop and server operating systems as well as Juniper JunOS.
- QEMU, a generic open source machine emulator, it runs Cisco ASA, PIX and IPS.
GNS3 is an excellent alternative or complementary tool to real labs for network engineers, administrators and people studying for certifications such as Cisco CCNA, CCNP andCCIE as well as Juniper JNCIA, JNCIS and JNCIE.

I would firstly suggest you upgrade, the latest version is 1.3.8. There have been some amazing steps in functionality and reliability with the releases in between your version and the latest, they are backward comparable. I think you may need to register.
I use GNS3 a lot, for labs, for trying proof of concepts out and I never have an issue with the configurations not saving. I do save the configurations.
When you open GNS3 and suggests a new project, do you create one? You can also do this from File menu (New Blank Project). This will automatically create a new folder (you can specify where) in the GNS3/Project folder
Also worth a good read is the installation guides and also the GNS3 forum is very helpful. The best bit of the forum is not having to argue the case for VLANs....
