The symptoms you described (only .PSD and .PNG showing, .JPG/.GIF missing) can come from a few predictable, non-hardware problems. 's Save‑for‑Web workaround and 's screenshot request were on point for diagnosing, and since fixed it by reinstalling, here are safer, faster checks and the most likely technical causes to try before reinstalling again.

Common causes and why they hide formats

  • Document mode or bit depth: Photoshop only shows formats that are compatible with the active document. If the file is in an indexed, multichannel, duotone, bitmap, or an unusual mode or is 16/32 bits/channel, some export formats (like JPEG/GIF) will be unavailable.
  • Extra channels or spot channels: Nonstandard channels or spot plates can limit the export options.
  • Corrupt preferences or third‑party plugins: Broken prefs or a plugin can change menus or available formats.
  • File/folder permissions or lack of disk space: If Photoshop cannot write to a location, it may behave oddly.

Practical troubleshooting (safe steps)

  • Work on a copy. Then check Image > Mode and Bits/Channel. Convert the copy to RGB Color and 8 Bits/Channel if needed and try Save As again.
  • If the image has multiple layers or spot channels, save a flattened copy (Layer > Flatten Image) and test saving to JPEG. Note: flattening converts layers to a single layer; keep an original.
  • Reset preferences (less disruptive than reinstall): launch Photoshop while holding Ctrl+Alt+Shift and confirm resetting prefs. This often fixes odd missing-menu problems.
  • Temporarily disable third‑party plugins by moving the Plugins folder out of the Photoshop folder and restarting.
  • Verify write permissions and free disk space.

If reinstalling solved it, a corrupt preference file or plugin was the most likely culprit. If the problem reappears, note exact steps to reproduce it and try the checks above before a full reinstall.

If you're using Photoshop CS3, what you're going to want is to Save For Web.

1) Open your Photoshop file
2) Select File>Save for Web & Devices
3) This will bring up a new window. In the upper right (beneath the Save, Cancel, and Done buttons), you will see a pull-down that says JPEG, GIF, PNG-8, PNG-24, or WBMP. Select JPEG.
4) Below that pull-down, you will see another pull-down with the options Low, Medium, High, Very High, or Maximum. Select the level you want to use (for most uses, Medium or High is good).
5) Click "Save"
6) You will be prompted for a location to save your file. Choose where you want it to be saved and click "Save"
7) You're done!

Good luck!

Take a screen shot and post it up on here. That might be easier to figure out for us.

Are you sure you're choosing "File > Save For Web & Devices" and not "File > Save As..." or "File > Save"?

Best,
