Could it be incorrect permission settings of the cache folder?

localhost,, as in your own computer? Then go to the folder on your computer, and change the folder attributes or assign the folder to run as Administrator.
Or if its on a server, some FTP accounts have restrictions on CHMOD. You could always use the hosting providers control panel, and find the file manager feature for your domain. Change the cache folder to rwrwrw or 777, depending on what backend and plugin is in place.
If all else fails, Google SSH and pUTTy. CHMOD in SSH is very simple, but cmd prompt.

I want to explain some things?
1:I am running forum on localhost(on my computer)with wamp server.
2:I am running more then one forums on localhost but all of them are working well but this one which i am talking about is giving the problem that is defined above in my first post.
3:I am using almost since 1 year these forums on my local machine but this is first time that i am finding this problem in one of them.
4:I checked attributes but they are same as the other working forums have.
Please tell me what should i do more?

Well, I don't usually recommend this, but if you swear the cache isn't resetting, you can always go to the cache folder, and delete any files manually that you have modified. If there's a file delete error, then the folder's attributes are indeed wrong.
Just to be safe, you should backup anything that you delete. Although, deleting html files from the cache directory shouldn't be a problem.

Yes you can manually delete all files out of the cache folder .BUT do not delete the .htaccess file and index.htm

I delete the files manually from cache folder but there was no change in theme or style.
