I played several just to be sure... starting with the one with 4,633,708 and then proceeding down the list. I can't figure out what your problem is. Is there an error message or does it simply freeze?

Try this video on Vimeo and see if it freezes for you. I have no issues with it:

Here is one answer I found through a search:

Yea! That didn't work either, I just tested Opera / Palemoon /SeaMonkey/Kmeleon and Chrome,And they ALL freeze up on youtube, using the newest version of flash, but if I use version 9.0.470 then it works..
but it want you to update all the time ...I wonder if I can setup One browser to use the old flash ???
Is it possible to setup a browser and run it from a folder with the old flash in that folder ??

I go, as Secunia PSI tells me, for updates. My Adobe Flash ActiveX is v.10.3.183.5 and Adobe Flash plugin (NPAPI) is v.10.3.185.7, and they are up-to-date. Adobe Shockwave is v.11.
As for the video which you referred to, it works like a charm in Seamonkey 2.3.3. Firefox 6.0.2 was not as good. As movies goes, it was very jerky. But, I have seen this before. The sound was great.
As for installing different versions, I don't think that it is possible. Adobe Flash is a self-standing program, and I don't believe that you can have two versions, at once. You may have to uninstall the present version, and see what happens when you install the old one.

Wow! nothing seems to work, and now it is freezing on ALL my browsers...It seems to be coming from adobe flash, I tried different versions, but that doesn't seem to work either..

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.22) Gecko/20110904 Firefox/3.6.22 (Palemoon/3.6.22)

Take a look at this and this.
I did a search of

Adobe Flash freezes browsers & windows 7

, and came up with nothing but trouble.
For now, you will have to remove whatever you have, and install an older version. The second thread, from the Adobe Support group give more info. The first one may work, temporarily, but it is an issue between Adobe Flash and Windows 7. All browsers are affected.
