My wife's computer is having the same problem... I don't know how to fix it.
I can see everything with my computer, but the very same videos won't pull up on hers.
Strange. If anyone knows how to remedy this, it'd be appreciated.
Problem solved, citizens!
If you cannot view youtube videos with Vista, do the following...just do the unstill/reinstall of Flash...the following "Vista" instructions do not need to be completed...just unstall and reinstall Flash from the sites below
Video Player Issues: The video won't play
Videos on YouTube are streamed through an Adobe Flash player. For the best viewing experience, we suggest you install the latest version of Adobe Flash after removing any old versions you've installed.
Please completely uninstall Flash before reinstalling the latest version.
To uninstall Flash, please follow Adobe's instructions, listed here:

Once you're done, restart your computer and follow Adobe's instructions for reinstalling Flash:

- Temporarily disable popup blocking software installed on your computer to test.
- Allow YouTube.com as a trusted site in your Firewall software.
- Ensure other applications like Quicktime, iTunes, Real Player, or Windows Media Player aren't set as the default streaming application, as this might affect the video player.
I did not need to to this below....
Windows Vista users: If the flash uninstall reinstall does not work this maybe due to a Microsoft Windows Vista permissions issue.
Please use the Windows button at the bottom left then the search function:
- Go to: C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\
- Right-click on the following file: FlashUtil9b.exe or FlashUtil9e.exe
- Select "Run as Administrator" and install the update.
- Restart your computer.
