There are a few 'macro-type' shareware programs that will save for you. Conceptually, it's just an app that runs in the background and macro's out the save keys at set intervals, in the case of Photoshop, it types ctrl-s. That's about as close as you can get to an auto-save feature I'm afraid.
A Google search will net you some results.
