Cannot save/save as due to "program error"

Question

Photoshop tells me "Could not complete request because of a program error" when I try to save or save as (in any format). Was just cropping and saving photos less than 30 minutes ago with no problems. I have not even done any major editing to the file, just simply cropped to a different size.

I am using Photoshop CS2 version 9.0 on Windows 7 - just installed less than a week ago - I tried to reset preferences, even though I have not changed any since it was installed.

I also tried editing type preferences and do not see options to change Asian to Middle Eastern type, as suggested in other forums.

I have restarted the program and my computer, still receiving error message when trying to save any files.

I'm getting the same errors. Happens with images, psd files, etc. The only way to save anything is to turn off/hide all the layers except for the background layer. Save it and then reopen. It should work after you do that. I'm about ready to throw in the towel with Photoshop. It's a flipping disaster of a program. Each update gets worse. In addition, my smoothing tool doesn't work at all. I can't even click on it. This is getting absurd. We should all get a big discount until they get this stuff fixed. Ridiculous.
