    I'm using Vista x64 and Opera 1.51 and my Youtube videos seem to load but then pause, I move the seeker forward on the video and it might play for a second but then stop again. Also the videos tend to not have sound.

    Firefox 3 and IE 7 work fine.

    I'm thinking something is wrong with the opera flash plugin. Should I uninstall all of flash and then reinstall?

    YouTube seems to work well here. The other posts are probably right. Try reinstalling the flash plugin. Otherwise, did this start right away when you installed the new version? How did you do the install (remove old version first or upgrade)?

    You could try removing the old version first if an upgrade install became corrupt.

    1.51... O_O

    Does that happen when the browser already load/download the whole video?
    And like other suggestions here, try to redownload and reinstall Opera and Flash. Make sure you install flash for non-IE.

    Whoops sorry about that I meant 9.51. But actually I think what happened was I did an install of 9.51 that didn't work properly since my browser still listed itself as 9.50. I reinstalled 9.51 and that corrected the problem. Thanks for the help!
