Problems saving jpeg from psd! (2nd time to post it here)

I never got an answer the first time so I'll try again...,

Every time I try to save an image to the web as either a jpg or gif, I
get the following error.
"Could not complete this operation because an assertion has failed."

Just a plain message box with no other information. If I uninstall the
program and reinstall it works fine for awhile. It appears to happen
after one of the automatic updates. Can this feature be turned off? How
can I fix this problem?

Thanks!

I had a similar problem (not save for web-- just saving a jpeg as tiff.) I got
rid of the problem (with some exceptions) by renaming the file with the file
name followed by a dot and then the full name of the mode of the change. E.g.
"Balloons at Fair.tiff" or "jpeg" this seems to make a difference, bedcause whe
you save to tiff , and I think jpeg the usual way it comes out "Balloons at
Fair. tif" (or "jpg")
