sounds like its missing the memory backup.

usually you would say a fuse, however if you checked them it must be a wiring fault. (which would be unusual in a car of this age)

I had the same problem when I first had the car but it only happened once in a blue moon.

Hasn't happened for a long long time now, I think the problem may be solved (knock on wood).

I do remember replacing a fuse here and there as I found some items in the fuse box were hard-wired instead of using a fuse.

it could be that the wiring has been messed with. it all should have a memory wire (a wire to the battery) which holds all the settings.

otherwise it could be a capacitor that is dead. a capicitor holds a small amount of charge (like a battery) and if it isn't working then it will reset everything.
