Make sure your image is in 8 bit RGB mode. CS3 will do "save for web" for 16 bit images, but perhaps not earlier versions.

This really bugs me. 8bit RGB images, and still no save for web menu available. Only thing I can see that has changed recently is a message that an embedded color profile doesn’t match the current RGB work space. Convert, Use, or Discard all give the same results for the web save. Any other ideas? I’m stumped and hate to reinstall…

reset everything. Hold down ctrl, shift, and alt while starting Photoshop, and say yes when it asks if you want your prefs reset. thanks to Mike Russell!!!

Some tools will grey-out certain options. Prime example is if you are in the Text tool (ready to type text) and you try to save without going back to an ‘open’ tool such as Marquee…

You might want to check what tool(s) are active when you try and save.

Another option: Try saving the image in a flattened format first, then save-and-close the master .psd file. Open saved image and see if you can do your ‘Save for Web’ from that. Nasty, ugly, but usually works when all else fails.
