Try deleting your Save For Web prefs by holding ctrl-alt when you go to SFW, Failing that, do a search for "assertion failed". There have been several of these threads recently.

Nice to see that this helped a few people. Perhaps there should be something on this in the FAQ as it seems to be a relatively common problem.
