You need to reinstall the Adobe Flash Player Plugin.

However your computer thinks that it's already there. (It's simply stopped working). If you simply try to download it, you'll almost certainly find that you problem remains. The trick is to go to 'Add/Remove Programs' (or whatever similar thing your version of Windows has), from the Control Panel, and to remove the Adobe Flash Player Plugin. Restart your PC. (That might not be strictly necessary but it can sometimes help to force the registry to accept that Flash Player is really no longer there). Then download the Adobe Flash Player again:

You must use the uninstaller from Adobe to remove it go to the Adobe Website and dowload it then run it . Then you can download the correct version from their site for your OS.

Thanks galeck.

Chris suggested something similar. For Safari the only answer is to go to preferences, show cookies, SELECT youtube, remove all (youtube) and select done. Then select "never accept cookies". (Choosing "only sites I visit" works once, the back to no video).
