Help Youtube app won't load or uninstall

I've crossed-posted this from the Desire S forum - hope no-one minds but there isn't much traffic there yet, and reckon someone on here may know the answer.


My Original Post (In reply to existing thread)

Basically, I can't open / (re)install / uninstall the youtube app.

The app doesn't appear in my apps list, but does appear under 'manage applications' - but all the buttons are disabled.

When I go to the market, it says installed, but the 'open' button is disabled

When I try to reinstall from an apk file, I get the options of 'uninstall' or 'launch'. when I uninstall, it just says 'uninstallation unsuccessful', and when I select 'launch', I get 'Activity not found - com.google.android.youtube'

Any other ideas I can try?

(Current version is 2.1.6 if it helps)

As a say, running stock gingerbread on the htc desire s

Thanks!
