Brake cables keep falling out

Quoted message said:

Of the levers that is.I've tried greasing and replacing
both the cables and the housing with no luck.Does anyone
know what causes this and how to fix it?

Can you describe the problem in more detail?

Are the return springs on your brakes engaged?

What kind of brakes do you have?

p.s. it's much nicer to read posts if they include all of
the question in the message body, rather than having
part of it in the subject header. It's not a waste of
bandwidth to repeat those five words in the body.

Sorry about the posting style I use broadband. The brake
springs are engaged they are low end Shimano brakes.All I
can say is the cables some how get disengaged from the slot
in the lever.I have just shortened the housing,hope it
helps.Thanks for taking the time to reply.

All I can imagine happening at the moment is that when you
are releasing the brake levers, the cable is not being
pulled back by the brakes, either due to insufficient force
from the brake springs, or too much friction somewhere in
the cable routing.
