macromedia players flash : Flash media player errors

On certain websites such as Myspace and PureVolume, the embedded flash media
players refuse to work; instead returning a message such as "Error Loading XML
Document". At first, I could activate the standalone playeroption and the
player would function as it was intended. Now it has gotten to the point that
the players won't work at all. and it happens on my work PC running Win2000
and my home PC running XP home. I have tried upgrading to flashplayer
8,0,22,0, I tried reinstalling the older version of flash, updating IE,
reinstalling IE, restoring my security settings in IE to their defaults and all
for naught. and nobody on any of the usenet groups knows what the problem is
and nobody at Myspace or PureVolume know what to do about it either. What
could cause the error message? I suspect it might be a registry key problem of
some sort but that kind of thing is waaaay over my head.

Any ideas from you guys at macromedia?

Here's what I recommend..

1. Get the -exact- error messages. If you can get some screen shots and
post them to the web all the better.

2. Open a support case with Myspace and PureVolume. As the Flash/Flash
Media Server developers they have the ability to open support cases with
Adobe. I'd suggest you ask them to do so.

That is the only error message I get. If I right click I get the settings
dialogue box that tells me that lads.macromedia.com wants to access my camera
and microphone which I don't have. And the "About Macromedia Flash Player 8"
link connects me to this site.

Is there some other way to determine what the error message is? Because, that
is all I am getting
