Website makes IE8 crash

I'm having a simple but still very annoying issue and i have no idea where to start looking. Its a website i've been taking over and it crashes hard right away when opening in IE8 version 8.0.6001.18702.

The site is http://www.dhf.dk/DHF.aspx and i have to suspect some invalid manipulation of DOM but i like i said i have no idea where to start looking.

Error message is

AppName: iexplore.exe    AppVer: 8.0.6001.18702  ModName: mshtml.dll
ModVer:  8.0.6001.18975  Offset: 00067838

I suspect the object-embed code to be faulty but im not hardcore enough in html to be sure if its the case

<object id="DhfSlideshow" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="610px" height="417px" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/swflash.cab">
    <param name="movie" value="/Frontend/Flash/slideshow.swf" />
    <param name="quality" value="high" />
    <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
    <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
    <param name="flashvars" value="dataUrl=/Frontend/DHF/DHF.Widget.Slideshows.Album/Server/DHF.Widget.Slideshows.Album.ashx?albumId=a68eae5f-955b-4ba0-aa11-6e4d68ead5df&amp;color_scheme=/red/flash/&amp;overviewUrl=s" />
    <embed align="middle" wmode="transparent" width="610px" quality="high" height="417px" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer" loop="false" name="DhfSlideshow" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="dataUrl=/Frontend/DHF/DHF.Widget.Slideshows.Album/Server/DHF.Widget.Slideshows.Album.ashx?albumId=a68eae5f-955b-4ba0-aa11-6e4d68ead5df&amp;color_scheme=/red/flash/&amp;overviewUrl=s" play="true" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" src="/Frontend/Flash/slideshow.swf"></embed>

</object>

It turned out that all the other templates for the website had a <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" /> tag on them, and correctly... after inserting on the frontpage as well the page rendered in IE without crashing.

I can't even begin to imagine where to look, so i'll guess that has to wait until a makeover at some point.
