How to troubleshoot the "error 999" code


Description
This article provides troubleshooting steps for resolving the "Unable to process request at this time -- error 999" error when using Yahoo!.

Resolution
The 999 error is caused by unusually high activity from either your computer or your IP address to a specific page or pages within Yahoo!. While this type of error is usually temporary, there are troubleshooting steps you can take if you continue to experience this issue:
  1. Try accessing Yahoo! from a different computer or a different Internet connection to see if the issue continues or if it goes away.
  2. Scan your computer for spyware and viruses. Spyware programs can change your system settings, serve pop-ups, record your surfing habits, or display advertisements over web sites you visit. Other spyware programs and certain computer viruses will run separate programs on your computer for a variety of purposes, sometimes slowing your computer down in the process, and even preventing you from accessing certain Internet sites such as Yahoo!.
  3. Enable Cookies, and make sure that your web browser is enabled to accept cookies from Yahoo!. Deleting your cookies can contribute to your receiving this error. For information, please visit our help article about enabling cookies.
  4. Does your household or office have multiple computers accessing Yahoo! through a shared Internet connection? If so, you may collectively have to moderate the amount of access you have during a given time frame, so you won't exceed the limit of access from a single IP.
  5. Do you use a third-party software program or application to access Yahoo!? If so, please keep in mind that these types of programs are not supported by Yahoo! and may contribute to you receiving this error. For example, certain plug-ins, depending on how they are configured and the level of activity in your groups, may lead to your receiving the 999 error.

Cain Problems!! "Unable to open Winpcap driver: The system cannot find the device specified."

By
Facing problem with Winpcap ? I used to use Cain long time ago on my Windows 7 PC.  It was working fine but yesterday I installed the cain again on same windows and found some errors in cain. When tried to start ARP and Sniffer a message came up " Unable to open Winpcap driver : The system  cannot  find the device specified." I thought may be I haven't restart my PC thats why this messsage is coming because during installation it said that Winpcap will work properly after reboot. So I rebooted my PC and again the same problem. This time I took a closer look into the message and i found the solution from the message itself. message clearly said that Unnable to open the driver. Here are the simple steps you can follow to fix this problem. Step 1: Goto configuration  Step 2: Select sniffer Step 3: Select the right driver.  (Usually its the driver which is showing the IP of the network which you wanna sniff.) Thats it. No need to restart again...
