Photoshop Elements 8 won't let me save as .gif

Hi there,

I have an image file with 7 layers that I would like to save as an animated gif, but no matter how I try to save it, it never seems to register.
When I open "Save As..." the window comes up and I select the gif format, and check the "Layers as Frames" and click save but somehow Photoshop Elements doesn't save it. The file isn't to be found, simply because it wasn't saved.

It won't even react to me clicking "Save for Web". It doesn't open a window or anything.

I've tried multiple times, quit and restarted the program but I can't seem to fix whatever is causing this. Any help?@ !
