Guest additions were installed with Direct3D

If you installed the guest additions (in safe mode) and installed the D3D instead of the WDDM drivers, this could be your issue.

Inside Internet Explorer you could disable GPU rendering. That might help.

Internet Options | Advanced |Use software rendering.

Thanks so much. I had done D3d in safe mode. Despite undoing it, IE still crashed... software rendering fixed it.
