Restarted and that didnt work. Crashes 3rd save every time (if not before), no matter how big or small the file is. I'm now saving every change and restarting Photoshop which is taking me fucking ages but at least it isnt as stressful.

Have you got an external hard drive you can save to, or a separate drive from the one where all the temporary work files are kept? I don't know how it is on the Macs, given the 'fact' they 'never' crash, but on PCs you wouldn't believe (well you would) the amount of shite left behind if Photoshop crashes. I'm just wondering (knowing nothing about Macs) if somehow it's conflicting with itself.
Even if you've got a big enough pen-drive or memory-card or something, could be worth seeing if it still happens when you save there instead of the local hard drive.
And have you had a look on one of the borrowing sites for a copy of a later version?
And, if the job is urgent, and you've not downloaded it before,
is it worth downloading the 30-day trial of the latest version just to get this job out of the way?
In the PC world some naughty men (or women) have created cracks that turn off the 30-day limit on that trial, but not sure if there are similar naughty men (or women) in the Mac world.
