When I go to a youtube video, I just get a black screen with some white dots in the middle. I have unchecked the popup blocker on the toolbar. What else do I have to click for this to work?

try updating your flash player, and or java..
Did both the latest that said it was time for an update ..............
Steve, try reinstalling (or install the newest virgin of) Adobe Flash Player. That should fix you right up.

Have you got a URL for that? Can't seem to find the virgin option.
Maybe they're sold out to the AyRabs, what with them wanting 72 of 'em at a time for each of their shindigs.

Youtube gave me an error with version 10.1. You can check the version you have in ControlPanel>AddorRemovePrograms.
The latest version:

installs or updates directly from their site.
The $%^&*?'s wouldn't give me permission to download a standalone version for an off-line PC, my HDTV recorder which has only essential processes running, no antivirus etc stealing CPU time.
How to tell:

Youtube is in the process (or has possibly completed) of converting all their videos over to a format compatible with HTML5, WebM, if memory serves. I've been trying out Firefox 4RC. Opt-in to the HTML5 trial, and don't worry about flash versions anymore.
