    Yahoo mail question

    I can't login to my yahoo email anymore. I get a message saying some content on the page isn't secure and it asks me if I want to load only the secure things. I click ok and it takes me to an error page that says error 999 an error occured please try again later. I emailed yahoo but they're saying they don't handle error 999 so what do I do to get back into my email. I restored my computer to an earlier date but that didn't help. I've tried logging in on three different computers and get the same error message. Does anybody know what I can do? Thanks if you do.

    I deleted cookies but I'm still having the same problem. Yahoo says they don't offer technical support for that error so I don't know what else to do.

    Have you put on a new firewall or antivirus? Have you tried logging in with a different browser?

    No I haven't put anything new on my computer. And I've tried internet explorer and firefox. I keep getting a popup box after I type in my email adress and password saying some parts of the site aren't secure and do I want to proseed anyway. I click yes and it takes me to a 999 error page saying they can't connect me try again later. But later it does the same thing. That error message is coming from windows so we set our security setting lower thinking that would solve the problem but that didn't work either.

    Nothings working and they say they cant fix error 999 so I guess I'll have to change email accounts. I hate that because I have so many programs I'm going to have to change the email adress in. All I do is surveys I don't see how I'm using to much bandwidth doing them.
