    seen this many times - uninstall skype - download new skype.exe - on the exe right click and select properties - select compatibility tab - change compatibility to run in win7 mode - click ok then install

    ;) ;)

    regarding your video/youtube issue - search "checlk adobe flash" look for the adobe link .. (1st)
