Try disabling the Flash add-on.

And try contacting Adobe, the publishers of Flash, for support, since it's
apparently their software that's causing the crash.

Hello Nick,

This not-quite-so-helpful advice from Adobe:

Regarding Flash Player 9 crashing (primarily with IE7)

We are aware of this issue and it is being actively investigated. We
do not know when we might have a 100% fix, but the Flash Player 9
public beta (9.0.60.184 from labs.adobe.com) significantly reduces the
rate of crashing for most people.

Things you can do to reduce the possibility of crashing:
-- update to the beta Flash Player Update 3 (9.0.60.184) from
http://labs.adobe.com. And be certain to update to the final Flash
Player 9 Update 3 release when it is available.

-- reduce the number of tabs open in an instance of IE7. Reducing the
number of tabs simultaneously running SWFs will reduce the amount of
memory consumed, and will decrease the likelihood for the crash
condition to occur.

-- if you have X number of tabs open and crash, try limiting yourself
to X-3 tabs or so. For example, if you have 7 tabs open and crash
fairly consistently, try to limit yourself to 6 tabs. If 6 tabs fail,
try 5.

-- Launch new instances of IE7, and limit the number of tabs launched
per instance

Optionally, as suggested above, you do have the option to use Flash
Player 8 in the interim:
-- rolling back to Flash Player 8 using the technote "Archived Flash
players available for testing purposes" (http://www.adobe.com/go/
tn_14266). You'll need to be vigilant about preventing any Flash
Player 9 updates. And note that this will prevent you from viewing any
content that requires Flash Player 9.

You borked the link by letting it wrap; check your
settings.
