I've just checked Control Panel and discovered I have 2 Flash Players installed:
Adobe Flash Player 10 Plugin v 10.1.85.3
and
Adobe Flash Player 11 ActiveX v11.0.1.152
Now if you select Support Information > Product Update for the Plugin it takes you to the download for 11.0.1.152.
I think I'll remove both of the above and then reinstall the latest version (11.0.1.152)
Edit1:
Just done that with a reboot inbetween removal and install.
IE8 on my Dell Laptop with XP Home SP3 seems to run much faster. Time will tell!
Edit2:
Unfortunately, that hasn't solved the problem. It's happened again with Task Manager being the only exit.

I have three laptops, the oldest one (with Windows XP) I would not even think of using for video.
The second oldest is an Acer 5101 with AMD Turion 64 running Ubuntu/Linux v10.04 LTS, it will handle ordinary video but not HD video.
The newest one is an Acer 5742 with an Intel i3 370m processor running Ubuntu/Linux v10.10, it will handle HD video with no problems.
On the AMD Turion 64 the problem with HDV is that that CPU cannot handle the size of file (HDV) within the refresh rate required, so causes a temporary freeze.
