For a temporary workaround (by no means a fix), try using the HTML5 version of YouTube here: http://www.youtube.com/html5 . Also, what do you mean by "adobe flash wont work"? Do the videos not play? Does it show the loading bar and not play, perhaps?

Also, have have to done to try to make Flash work?
