    Hi,

    Mine did it a couple of time this morning. I went to restart and before the welcome screen comes on I held down F8 and when the screen came up I used my up arrow to Last known good configuration that worked. Then click on windows xp or what ever you are running. Then no problem with the 999 error!!!

    Hope this helps you too.

    1. As they suggest, try to check your computer for viruses.

    2. Contact your local ISP and ask them - it maybe something with their servers.

    3. it might be some words you type. Sometimes you type something inoffensive, but the glitch in the system just stops the posting. Try to re-word your answer.
