Every single video I go onto on Megavideo, I click the first play button, then it does that loading thing, then I press the second play button (to watch the video) and it just says 'connection problem'. I am using Vista, and have tryed it on Firefox, IE & Chrome and it's the same for all. I have also tryed deleting cache and restarting but nothing works.

Any help? +Rep. :(

Maybe a port is being blocked?

Megavideo only allow 72 hours of viewing then they block you, that's why it happens.

Indeed, but that tells you, it doesn't give an error message saying connection failed.

Try resetting your IP, and reset browser settings for each, also turn off your firewall for now.

Well seeing as I have only watched about 2 hours..

Try a system restore.

It's 72 MINUTES, mb. I'm sure that's what causes the 'connection problem'. It's just Megavideo blocking you after the allowed time.

Another person said they solved it by updating flash.

Nah, it's not 72 minutes.

Mine seems to be working perfectly again, but I have no idea why.
