Question Myspace videos won't play (XP Media Center)

I have XP Media Center OS and Myspace videos won't play on my machine. They seem to be the *only* videos that won't play. All I get is an "error" message on the video screen. All other videos on Youtube or my video players, such as VLC, work just fine. Only Myspace videos won't play. It's really weird.

None of my friends who have XP Home Edition or Pro seem to have this problem, so I'm thinking it might have something to do with my Media Center edition.

I have installed Xvid codec in hopes it would help with no luck.

Does anybody know why only Myspace videos won't play on my system?

Locate a video,R.click,select "make a shortcut" move the shortcut to desktop,
open WMP,downsize WMP,R.click the shortcut,select "open with" select WMP,
see if it runs.If not,click on help in WMP,select view WMP error codes on
line.

I found the problem. It wasn't XP related. It was my adblock on firefox. Doh!
