First thing I'd try is:

close excel
windows start button|Run
excel /safe

Open a test file and do a Save.

(opening in Safe mode stops lots of things from loading--including potentially
bad workbooks/addins.)

If excel doesn't crash, then I'd read Chip Pearson's site for clearing up
startup errors at:
http://www.cpearson.com/excel/StartupErrors.htm

Essentially, you're going to move stuff out of your XLStart folder and uncheck
everything under Tools|Addins. (But keep track!)

Then one by one, you'll add one back and restart excel to see if that caused the
problem.
