Oddly it seems to work if you click a link on a different website, Facebook for example, to watch something but if you go on YouTube and click to watch it doesnt work. Is the same happening for you?

Just looked on yahoo answers there and seems like few people have had same problem

EDIT. Just fired up firefox and can get it to work on that so must be something to do with Ie and the plug ins its usuing
