Hey folks!

I hope you're smarter than me, because I have an interesting issue.

Everything has always worked fine on my Macbook (bought Sept 2011). Just noticed this morning, however, that no youtube videos will work. The sound is fine on them, but the video doesn't show up- in fact, the video basically cuts a 'window' through chrome and shows my desktop (if you know what I mean? like I can see everything on my desktop in that area). Other videos work, like this on from Yahoo!

I have no idea what is going on! I can't think of any changes I've made recently... no new downloads or updates... am stumped! Help, please!!!

Thank you!

As an addendum... turns out some websites are affected by this too. I'm guessing it has something to do with flash or something (but I know nothing at all about this!!!)

Anyways, you'll now learn more about my shopping habits- this website http://www.manoloblahnik.com/ shows absolutely nothing but a view of my desktop inside the google chrome window.

ummm... help? I need shoes! :)
