Could be a Flash player issue - go to http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/downl...&promoid=BUIGP and make sure that it's up to date (just re-download it, it won't do any harm).

Try the 'non-plugin/standalone installer' version of Flash Player (after running the Adobe uninstaller again):
If the ActiveX Control for Flash Player fails to install, download the executable installer.
If the information above has not resolved the issue, download the executable Flash Player installer here:
If the information above has not resolved the issue, download the executable Flash Player installer here:
- Download and unzip Install_Flash_Player_9_ActiveX.zip.
What OS are you on - XP? And have you changed any pop-up blocker/spyware/firewall settings or programs recently?

Weird seeing this thread as my pc had also stopped playing videos on the various sites.... YouTube, PhotBucket, etc....
I'm also on Vista (Ultimate) and had to readjust my firewall as Windows and Norton battle each other (always seems to reset after a reboot) but sorted that and.......
Done the above and it works a treat now

Ah, Vista..... LOL
Lee - open youtube and start a video as normal, then right click the flash video and click 'settings.'
Then select the left tab and uncheck 'hardware acceleration' and retry (close and restart IE).
If Vista won't let you uncheck the hardware acceleration, try this:
Oh, and make sure you're signed into Vista as user with Admin rights if you have multiple accounts on the PC.

Go to appearance and personalization in Vista and adjust screen resolution.
Reduce colour to 16 bit temporarily. You can now go and uncheck the box in
flashplayer at youtube etc. Then simply go back and reset the colour to 32
bit.
