Can't save my startup-config to NVRAM

I've gone temporarily stupid for a moment. I just got a 2610XM and am doing simple "copy run start" commands, and it saves fine and shows up in show start and show flash commands. I reload the router from there. I get this: "Self decompressing the image : ############" out to infinity, which is normal, and finally I enter "no" when prompted to enter initial configuration dialog. I do a show flash and show start and see that my saved alterations (passwords and IP addresses) are all there, but for some reason my router just won't load them into running-config. Where have I gone wrong?

from config mode:

configuration-register 0x2102

I typed that in global configuration mode and got an invalid input reply. That's the only config mode I'm aware of.

Ah, I have to type config-register 0x2102, I can't type the full "configuration" text for some reason. That worked. Thanks a bundle!
