Answer 1

Error 999 is a sign that Yahoo's defense is in effect.

"This error appears to be caused by some sort of bandwidth limiting system that Yahoo has put in place on their servers. Once you have exceeded your allotted bandwidth for a specific period of time Yahoo gives you this Error 999 message and doesn't allow you to access the service."

yahoo now uses popups to enter rooms,DO NOT turn off popup blocker,no need. click on popup blocker click on always allow.add yahoo.com to list. then the 1st thing you do when you enter lounge is check play small window in option box. if you don't and enter room you get grey screen,if you just close it you are now in a room and if you try going elsewere you will get "error logging in " in every lounge..if this happens click on lounge tab and check small window box,or reboot and follow above info.once in small room you can expand it,,you only see top half of cards but you can play.and see chat area so you can talk to other players.yahoo is now running sales ads in rooms. email them and complain i did, if everyone does this maybe they will stop it. the site to complain is
