materials not saving

ok not sure what the deal is here, but i created a cube in the blank room template. i added a texture to the material. process being clicking on cube, went into material editor, selected create new material, names material, assigned diffuse, normal and bump maps into their places. the material shows up fine at that time, i click save on the material with the diskette icon.
then when i close out game, and open it again, the cube now has a blank orange texture on it, the same one it had when i created cube.
my new material is not showing up in the material editor, although the name is still on the object, just no textures in the image maps.
the same thing happens when i try to add a texture to the ground plane.
i get the textures to show up while in game. the textures show up in the material editor, until i close the game out and open it again, then the materails i just created are gone.
i have hit enter after entering the name of the materail, i have hit save with the diskette icon, and i have made sure to save level before closing.
also i have noticed that even when i have made no adjustments to material, a window will come up that there has been changes made to the material do i wish to save before changing out material.
any ideas on what is going on with this???

i created a new level, deleted the material editor, and re-created the materials, now the materials on my test cube and terrain is saving properly, but the material i am using for the terrain block still doesn't show up in the material editor for some reason,
it does show up on the terrain like it is supposed to, but when i open the material editor it does not show up in the list

well i looked in the console and yes there was errors, i went into the material.cs, and yes again had multiple materials with same and similiar names, but that was from having to remake the material for it not showing up in material editor.i created a new level, deleted the material editor, and re-created the materials, now the materials on my test cube and terrain is saving properly, but the material i am using for the terrain block still doesn't show up in the material editor for some reason,

ok spoke too soon, it is there, i found it. kind of a dumb on me, didn't see there was more then one page of material in material editor on the preview icon thingys or what ever ya want to call it. only seen two rows figured it would have filled up before it went to another page. i set it to 50 and wouldn't ya know it, it showed up. sometimes it the simple things that get ya....der on me.
