Hi Alina,
This normally happens when the permissions on some of the core WordPress files are not correct. The best fix is to re-install WordPress, being careful to follow the instructions here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress
Hope this helps!

I can’t get the image of the video to show up in the post only the work link. What am I doing wrong? I’m using Dean’s FCKEditor For Wordpress.

Andrea, to insert a video into a post or page, first locate the video on YouTube, and copy the “Embed” code from the menu on the right. Do NOT copy the URL. Next, switch to your WordPress Dashboard, open the post or page into which you wish to insert the video, and click the “HTML” tab at the top right-hand corner of the edit window. Click your mouse at the point in which you wish the video to appear, and paste the embed code. Publish your post, and your video should now show up when you view the post/page in your web browser.
Hope this helps!
