youtube widget not working after minor 2.1 update.......

Maybe, but my home computer runs everything just fine and it runs off of wifi. Plus my ps3 uses it all the time and I get great gameing. Would it by chance have anything to do with the antenna? I have a rigged up antenna made of brass and a rubber band.
 
He is on 2.1 he cannot install any Youtube app yet. I tried that before, make sure when you manage applications you filter it to "all"
 
I filtered to all. I did everything said so far at this thread. It seems to work if I let it sit idle in the background for a second....hhhhmmmmm.
 
I cleared my youtube cache and data. Even tried switching off and switching phone back on. The youtube widget is preinstalled in my android 2.1 sony ericsson phone...how do i "trash" a preinstalled app?? please explain in simple words :(
