How can I watch a video on YouTube using Safari 6.0.5.?

Hello there everyone,

The problem that I got is, I cannot play any video from YouTube, the screen just get black and it does not play anything so far. I don't know what to do because I have to open the link from YouTube in another browser and I do not know if the settings are right. anyways I will let you the following screenshots to show how's the way that my settings are on Safari.

Note: It asks about updating the flash player and I've done that (I have to say that I heard about on macs weren't needed to install flash player because OS X has already). As you can see I am new learner of the apple world.

Thanks for your help

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
