   Dont know if this is the answer but I had the same problem a week or so   
   ago.  After trying everything else I Re-intalled the latest ESR version   
   from the proper setup file, then Classic Theme Restorer and Flash BUT I   
   have not reinstalled any Ad blocking or script blocking.   
   YouTube works fine now so this maybe the answer, let us know if it works   
   for you too! The ads are a pain of course... C+
