I seem to have a problem with my Flash Player. I have Flash Player 9, but for some reason, only some Flash sites will work. Addicting Games and Newgrounds, for example, work, but Youtube doesn't. Any ideas as to what the problem could be?

Youtube is a flash site? Huh?

The videos use flash player, yes.

How do you figure? All youtube videos are recompressed from .avi and other compatible formats. Flash typically stands out when it's being played and Youtube has none of the signs of being such.

YouTube specifically uploads videos from various formats and then converts them into a Flash video format.

Whenever my Flash functions conk out on occasion (requiring a reset), YouTube consistently doesn't work anymore.

Ever try right-clicking a video?

Since embedded video like Youtube typically doesn't have an option to save videos by right-clicking, I never had a reason to so it never occurred to me.

I have a similar problem.
Interestingly, while Youtube itself doesn't work, the Embed code they provide does.
