When I try to ‘save as’ an image file into a different folder, Photoshop just quits abruptly without saving. I must save in the same folder from which I retrieved the file.
I’ve tried rebooting and reinstalling Photoshop CS but those didn’t help.

Seriously, there have been numerous Save As problems; I think yours makes number 3 or maybe 4. To my knowledge, Adobe has addressed none of them because… (see second sentence in first paragraph). In this case, however, it really does sound as if you may well have a conflict in your system that is hosing things. If deleting prefs does not help, try it in safe mode if you can and see what happens.
I had exactly the same problem with large files and 14 bit images. Eventually the whole of the folder I was trying to save into got corrupted to such an extent that it would not open in windows explorer to view the contents. It’s v aggravating as I lost some recent not backed up work. I have reloaded XP and all photoshop and so far is working OK, but would like to know if there is a fix for this to stop is happening again.

sounds like a windows or hard drive problem. all patches applied in windows?
chkdsk with surface scan checked. open the case and make sure all the cables are well seated. dust out while you’re in there. make sure to wear an anti-static wrist strap.
