Youtube black screen!

Hello Folks
I wanted to watch some Youtube clips. Youtube loads fine but all I get is the black screen.
I have Vista Premium, latest Firefox and I've uninstalled older versions of Flash and installed newest versions, rebooted my machine. Still I have no joy. Is this fault happening to other peeps or is it just me? By way I can't recall when I last watched a Youtube clip and I can still watch clips via Facebook.
Anything else I can try?

Try right clicking on the youtube video window, and selecting "disable hardware acceleration" in the opition that appear.
I had this happen a while ago. A browser cache refreash and clicking that option (and then oddly turning it back on again) worked.0
