Recently when i try to watch youtube videos,the video literally dissapears,my cursor starts acting weird and the whole page freezes.I hardly even exit the page and sometimes i get a message for an inactive script,but i just close everything.I uninstalled Flash Player and magically the videos worked perfectly,i only got messages to install Adobe Flash player again.I installed it again but the video worked for about 3 minutes,then Flash Player crashed and the video dissapeared and everything happened all over again.Can somebody tell me what is happening?

    HTML5 video is "what's happening".

    HTML5 (a standard adopted in late 2010) uses MP4, Ogg and WebM (a Google format) to play video. It requires no plug-in. This change was made due to the fact that more people use smartphones now to access the Internet, than dektop or laptop computers. Since Phones and tablets can't use Flash, sites like YouTube, Yahoo, DailyMotion and others are converting ALL of their video to HTML5, and YouTube is actually all finished with their conversion. So that's why YouTube videos will play with no Flash Player.

    Are you using Internet Explorer?

    Unless you have registry problems, there should never be a need to constantly reinstall Flash Player. If you've got conflicting plug-ins in Firefox, they can cause problems with playback of Flash content.
