Why does these things always happen to me?

I've technically been asking this three times on Yahoo! Answers, and this is copied directly from my most recently published question:

Typical SwDnld Error?
OK, here's the general description:
I've never had any trouble logging in on Habbo Hotel with Shockwave Player 9, but all of a sudden THIS happens: In Firefox, the pop-up window appears immediately, which is great, but it's empty, which is not great. I've been waiting for hours checking if it was loading something or not, so that's definitely not the problem.
Maybe it doesn't work with Firefox, due to the consequences of some recent requirement-related update? Oh well, try it in Netscape, Opera and Internet Explorer as well.
Same results in Netscape and Opera, but in Internet Explorer things go real interesting. Another pop-up window appears inside the loader pop-up window, kindly stating that 'you need Adobe Shockwave Player to enter Habbo Hotel'.
Well of course!
But I've already GOT Adobe Shockwave Player, but since there IS a button here allowing me to download it anyway, why don't I try it?
I do. After a few seconds or so two EXACTLY the same ADDITIONAL pop-up windows appear ...

... saying that SwDnld has caused an error in SWDNLD.EXE. SwDnld is unable to continue.
Try rebooting if problems occur repeatedly.
I've been trying for every session the last month by now, but nothing has changed ... yet ...
Anyway, I look up the freaking SwDnld.exe and find it in
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\Adobe\Director\SwDnl...
I remove it and try again. The same thing happens. I go back to Adobe and find that Director has reappeared. Not good. I delete it again, but this time I keep the window open, doing the same installation process again; this time I see how the folder pops forth out of nowhere after a while.
Apparently there's some kind of compatibility problem somewhere. I've updated to Shockwave 11 now and I'm using Windows ME. I greatly appreciate any answer.

Every word is true. I have got no problems whatsoever with Shockwave save this. I've been able to use the hotel on both Firefox and IE with Shockwave 9 for years, probably, but when it suddenly stopped working I updated to Shockwave 11, though it didn't help. I'm attempting to reinstall everything for the third time while writing this, I really hope there's something you can do to help me.
