"Flash" software under Win98SE

Recently on a site I use (not PC-related) I am getting "Error in Internet Explorer - this will close down" (the wording is different, but same sense).
The result is that I'm off the site!
If I ask for the error,(Starts) IEXPLORE caused an invalid page fault in
module FLASH.OCX at 0167:02622db9.
Registers:
EAX=0000001e CS=0167 EIP=02622db9 EFLGS=00010202
EBX=00000000 SS=016f ESP=0058c200 EBP=0058c290
ECX=0058c348 DS=016f ESI=0058c2b0 FS=2937
EDX=00001226 ES=016f EDI=00000000 GS=3dd6
Bytes at CS:EIP:
8b 0c 91 89 4e 30 75 0a 3b cf 74 06 89 4e 2c 89
Stack dump:
023d24c8 0058c32c 0058d0e0 02830a78 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000002 00000000 023d2518 00000000 02830a78 029d82c8 023d227c 0058c4c0 00000207 (ends)
Now as far as I recall I have not upgraded my "flash" files, nor interferred with them.....but I don't even know where to look....or what they should look like.
I'm prepared to reload them, but suspect the re may be an issue with Win98SE and the general push to force folk to "upgrade" - er, that's spend money you don't need to.
I hate flash and ignore it whenever possible, having limited memory and HDD space...and I don't like having to watch what are usually advertisements (except here, pays for the site!)
As I don't want to view advertisements, I'm wondering if I can triclk the software into thinking it is all up-to-date whilst leaving it inoperable....

Note: this (above) relates to the Animation program "Flash" . . . . . and not USB-devices I asked about recently. That is "almost cured" since I bought a 1G USB flash- memory and downloaded the necessary driver from ScanDisk - after some problems it seems the thingy does work (bought today!). In one handy device I have nearly 900 floppy's. That's progress, until it fails....arrgh!

Hi Guys - well it had you beat, eh?

The answer - - - appears to be an unhappy use of "flash" in advertisements on the web-page - caused a stack overload on pc's (like mine!) running older versions of IE (Mine's 5.5, as I view this).
The site has fixed the problem, so I'm back to normal . . . all the suggestions from other site users that it was time to get a decent computer and that I needed to up-date my drivers and other such drivel - was just that !
Very rarely is an Internet fault due to YOUR Computer! - unless that is you have just changed something and then the same fault occurs all the while.
Look for Site-down, ISP switched off the server, Cable fault in the street (eg a digger), overload due to too many hits, DS attack etc. the list goes on to modem plug fallen out, but that is very obvious!
