Nah, I don't run Java and I'm fine on Youtube, but it did cross my mind a few times. I also thought about Shockwave player and Air. They used to be tied to Flash, but I don't have either on my machine - so I ruled them out.
Yeah, follow the uninstall directions - start to finish and consider using the full pkg download.
If it's still not working..
I don't know how much you configure on IE, but you might consider defaulting your IE 9 security zones and restoring advanced options. The final consideration would be to reset IE.
Note: I was editing my post to include what Youtube suggested when you posted, so it might not have been in the list when you read my post.
I'm not sure that I have anything left after this - everything keeps going back to what I already posted. I'll be out most of the day Sat. I'll check in the evening to see if I had any epiphanies during the day.
