Hi. Thanks for the reply. Sorry for the delay. I'm a full time carer for my mum so busy most of the time!

I can still save to that directory but not directly from Photoshop. The library contains dozens of folders with thousands of photos. If I try to save a photo to this library as a .jpg I get the  'No items match your search,' message. This message just appears at the top of a blank window. I can still save as you suggest if I go directly via C:\Users\ <username> \Pictures (or My Pictures) and not through a library. If I do that it opens as normal and I can save to any folder.

As an example I copied a photo of my old mum to the desktop. I opened this in Photoshop in the normal way as it only seems to have problems with my picture library. Once open in Photoshop I then tried to save it in my pictures library. I got the usual message,   'No items match your search.' If I click save anyway even though the library is not open I get the following;

I have ran the troubleshooter for the indexing service but it came back; Troubleshooting couldn't find any problems.

So to sum up I can open the library containing my photos from anywhere else, just not Photoshop. I can save to that library from anywhere else, just not Photoshop. If I want to open a photo in one of the folders in my pictures library I have to drag it to the desktop first and thren open it in Photoshop from there. I have to do the same thing if I want to save the photo again.

I'm beginning to think this is a Windows problem rather than a Photoshop problem but still have no idea how to sort it.
