Videos play with sound but no picture, just a black box.
Re-installed Flash and one Youtube video played Ok before it all went black again.
Funny thing is flash videos on other websites play Ok.

ilovemusic: Was cleaning up an old laptop I inherited by deleting useless crap I never use (some Adobe stuff) and discovered that I may have broken Youtube.

Is the laptop too old? Maybe it lacks the grunt to decode videos at the higher resolutions. Try playing them at 240p....then 360p....then 480p...then 720p.
See if there is any consistent pattern that relates to the resolution.....if not...then at least you've ruled this out.
Also....how about anti-virus? Any chance something is trying to scan the incoming stream?
