O1W/FD Sequencer Resetting Problem

Hello, everyone.
I hope you are all doing well.
I recently acquired an old 01W/FD. It is in great condition, overall, but I am having a problem with it. My intention was to use it multitimbrally, so I go to the sequencer page and all programs assigned to the tracks are set to 00. Then I select programs for two or three of the tracks, and then I go to the effects page in the sequencer to add effects. The moment I hit the effects page, the programs I had assigned in the tracks page reset back to 00. Moreover, when I switch off the machine, all sequencer changes, programs assignments and effects assignments change to 0 - programs to 00 and no effects. If I have recorded something it also gets erased. It is like it cannot hold any song data.
Can anyone, please, help?
Thanks
PS. As far as I know the battery has been changed, and all factory programs and combinations load up normally.

Turn off "Track Protect" per track or changes won't be stored to the sequencer memory.

For the "FD" model, save sequences to a floppy disk before turning off power.

Download a PDF of the Owner's Manual if you don't already have a copy.

Thanks.
That is the problem: all tracks protection is OFF - individually and globally. As about the floppy, it refuses to format my old floppies, perhaps because they are formatted in a different format and full with different content. Impossible to find floppies to buy, and then I've tried all kinds of floppies I have in my storage and the 01/WFD won't format any of them - 'Data Error'. I have the manual, but I can't seem to find more info in it. Perhaps something is wrong with it after all. Maybe it is workarounds time.
Many thanks, again.

UPDATE: the (now free) soundtower editor (01w edit pro) did it.
Cheers
