Softsynth output stops working upon restart of cubase

I’m having trouble making my soft synths work consistently. I’m running Cubase Essential 5.1.1 under Windows Vista Home Premium. The attached screen shots show the device setups:
1. Working: when I start Cubase, create a new Instrument track, choose a softsynth. All is fine.
2. Not working: I complete a softsynth recording session, close Cubase, then later reopen it. I change nothing, but no sound can be heard, even though input & output meters show a signal, just as before. It’s the same with whatever ASIO I use, currently ASIO4ALL. MIDI tracks to my external hardware synths work consistently.

The softsynth isn't a demo version or anything is it? Was it a free one?

Sometimes one of the above is the issue.
