Error 999: Problem creating an account on VPS

Asked By dgsabel 0 points N/A Posted on - 01/27/2012

I just received a VPS and inserted the Response Assault on it. Then I went ahead to create an account but every time a prompt would come up in a box at the bottom right reading “An error 999 occurred.” I have tried many other United States based proxies but they do not seem to respond. Every other proxy from different regions seems to work though. Is there someone who has a clue?

I understand Error 999 in Yahoo Mail means you requested too much data. At the same time I own Scrape Box and it runs behind proxies very well.

I also wanted to edit VPS running Windows 2008 but then I realized the IE had tight security for internet so I had to reduce it. Does anyone know of a way to set my windows to have the Answer Assault?

Error 999: Problem creating an account on VPS

Usually, this will happen if your connection is being refused by Yahoo.We need to open up Internet Explorer and try to connect to Yahoo Answers (registration page) to do it manually, you will find that it displays the same message.

My suggestion would be to open up IE, go to Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN settings and remove any proxies from there (or it might be your own IP messing up). After that we need to go to Advanced > Reset to reset Internet Explorer.

This will be not the best option but  you can always use the free proxy manager listed in the news window.
