Answer
It sounds to me like you are using Internet Explorer and maybe not using the latest version or don't have all the updates applied. While this is one fix, it is not your only option.
I don't use IE. I use Mozilla Firefox as my browser. It is much faster and more secure than IE. Go to www.mozilla.com and download the browser. It is free and youtube works great on it.

If you don't want firefox, update to the latest version of IE which I think is IE7 and do the updates and your problems will probably go away.

If I can help you further let me know.
