QGIS Desktop V2.8.1 crashes when I press New, Open or Save button

Affected QGIS version: 2.8.1
Redmine category:project_loading/saving

Just installed QGIS V2.8.1. When I start the QGIS Desktop and press either the New, Open or Save buttons, it crashes and generates a mini-dump. I have attached two.
I searched for this issue and saw a post suggesting that it might help to disable all plug-ins, so I tried that. Interestingly, after I disabled all plug-ins, the New button seems to be OK (no crash), but it still crashes if I press either the Open or Save button.

It appears that the two crash dump files that I attached were to large to upload. I will try compressing them...

did you had any previous qgis release installed? if yes try deleting the .qgis2 folder (make a backup first if needed).

No- this is a new Windows 7 laptop which has never had any version of QGIS on it.

weird, anyway this should be a local issue. Hope someone can have a look to dump files and find a reason for the crash.

Very likely a local issue, and anyway now obsolete.
