PSE 13 freezing and crashing when sa

I am running PSE13 on a 64bit Windows desk top computer, and when I try to save my work, the program freezes completely, and indefinitely.  Twice, it has frozen my entire computer.  No other program is triggering this problem.  I am incredibly frustrated, especially since I can't contact anyone directly to help me.  I have a project with a deadline, and I cannot get it done because I cannot save my work.  I am very disappointed in the lack of direct support for this program, when it is offered for other Adobe products.

    Hi callmecirce,

    Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Please refer to a similar Photoshop thread Could not build preview because of program error - CS6/Mac  and try out the solution mentioned therein.

    Your feedback is really appreciated.

    Thanks,

    That was not helpful at all.  I am not getting any sort of error message, the whole program just freezes.  And it crashes every time I try to save ANY layered file, not just a particular one, so it is unlikely that there is a flawed layer causing it to seize.  Do you have any other suggestions?

    Here's the error message I keep getting, as of tonight: "Could not build a preview because of a program error." Adobe is useless and won't provide any customer support.
