… They seem to think the "Save As" dialog is there just off screen somewhere which is consistent with how the main window is behaving (cannot get focus) and windows task manager is not reporting that Photoshop CS3 is "not responding" (it looks like it’s running normally to XP OS).
I don’t have CS3 and have not experienced the problem but…
It could be a Z-order/Windows Parenting problem, by which I mean the dialog is coming up behind the Adobe main window. To test this, before you try to save put CS3 into a ‘Restored’ state (i.e. neither Maximized nor Minimised), then drag the window to the right of the screen so you get a good view of the desktop yet still have access to the File Menu.
If it really is off-screen then try this…
Hit the key combination Alt+Space, this brings up the dialog’s System menu which should be on-screen. The location of the dialog is hinted at by the menu’s position. Click the ‘Move’ function (or hit ‘M’), you should now be able to click and drag with the mouse to bring the dialog back on-screen. If the mouse action doesn’t hack it you may need to use the appropriate Arrow keys to effect the move – note that clicking may have cancelled the ‘Move’ function requiring a repeat of Alt+Space.
Hmmm. I’ve just had another (untested) thought. If the dialog is behind the CS3 window then hitting Alt+Space should show the dialog’s System menu on top (I think), again revealing the dialog’s location.
