Thanks for these explicit guides. I had already disabled all add-ons and extensions in IE and Chrome. Have now reset both to original condition. Also FF (my main browser; that's going to take a while to put back...) and disabled everything extra.
Every browser still crashes when attempting to "save as" - as soon as the folder selection window appears.
Any other ideas? I'm willing to pay for help at this point; a clean windows re-install wouldcost me a couple of days to rebuild and debug.
