    I'd reset your browsers settings to make sure an ActiveX component is not blocked. Also make sure you have latest Flash Player installed from Adobe.

    Also...do you have a high speed connection? If Dial-up or satellite it will take a while... your system cant play them until a percentage of them are downloaded as a precache before playing. For the fact that its just IE, I am guessing you have high speed.

      As for ActiveX settings...
      In IE, go Tools>Internet Options>Security tab, click on Custom level button, and make sure, your settings look like this:

        Close IE.
        Go Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools, and click on Internet Explorer (no add-ons). See, if Flash plays here.

              You can't. This IE type doesn't have any. Just go to any page with Flash, and see, if IE will play it.

                I've been having the problem for a while now. I guess its from your ISP or from youtube them selves.
