It appears that enhanced patch for MB cures most of crashing on Win7.
If you have mount&blade.exe 3.9Mb in size and have frequent crashes on your Win7 - try downloading enhanced version.
Apparently main TW website still has old inferior build of MB1.011 in main download page. Dunno why they did not change it.
So use the links below:
Download:
http://www.mbrepository.com/file.php?id=2595
http://download.taleworlds.com/mountandblade_1011_setup_enhanced.exe
The above build also removes 32 troop limit and Themida, and includes a list of small enhancements
Also the tip that worked brilliantly for me:
If you have Win7, >=4Mb of RAM and enhanced version (M&B.exe 2.0Mb in size) try set exe as "Large Address Aware". E.g. by using CFF explorer to edit exe under 'File Header>Characteristics>click here> and check "app can handle >2gb address space"
