Do you use any extension? One could be interfering. Try disabling them at menu Extensions (Ctrl+Shift+E).

Tried that to start, and double checked again. No extensions or plugins except flash.

Also downloaded the developer pack and it would not play YouTube either--also disabled npapi in this version.

Version: 25.0.1614.5 - Opera is up to date

Update stream: developer

Have you tried YouTube HTML5 player? you can get it here https://www.youtube.com/html5 Also you can get the Magic Actions for you tube extension and force YouTube to play all videos in HTML5 format.

Have you tried right clicking on a video, going to settings and disabling acceleration?

Yes, hardware acceleration is disabled--tried it both ways, but usually keep this disabled.
My laptop works just fine with version 12.17.

Perhaps I should uninstall all versions of Opera, delete plugins, clear the caches, remove registry entries and reinstall one of the earlier versions. Any suggestions along those lines of thinking?

11.63 - fine. Though it seems some sites could overshoot the compatibility in certain future.
I'm running it on XP
