Sometimes when I access Yahoo applications such as Yahoo Mail, I will be prompted with this pop up message:
Your request can not be processed.
Unable to process request at this time – error 999

One of the reasons given in MurrayMoffat.com explains that:
The most common reason for receiving Yahoo Error 999 is due to 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. People have primarily reported receiving this error when they try to access Yahoo Mail or Yahoo Groups, but other Yahoo services may also be affected.
Here are some suggested solutions:
Clear browser’s cookies and cache
Log into Yahoo using a different country’s server
Use “secure†option when logging into Yahoo instead of “standard†mode
User a different browser.
MurrayMoffat.com provides quite a comprehensive explanation on this Yahoo Error 999 issue. Click here for more information.

I was helping one of my colleagues with a company’s publication. Before we send the documents for press printing, I saw an uncommon way of email address written in the contacts section. It was written:
Sales@example.com
I never really take note of email address with uppercase character until I help my colleague with those sets of documents. Can email server rejects Sales@example.com if the username “Sales†was not created but rather “sales†was created. I got rather worried if the email server will bounce or reject the username “Salesâ€. I did a quick test by sending an email using the character with uppercase and it works!
We can always experiment with other set of email address. Use a different email provider and send to your own Yahoo mail or other email accounts you are holding. If your email address is alexandra111@yahoo.com, compose a test mail and send using ALEXandra111@yahoo.com instead of alexandra111@yahoo.com, you should able to receive the email in Yahoo. I tried mine and it works
Found another sets of answer using Google with the phrase “uppercase email addressâ€. A question regarding email address case sensitive was raise in About.com. Heinz Tschabitscher the author explains that case typically does not matter. He went on mentioning that email service provider does not strictly requires case sensitive email addresses. If you type your recipient email address in uppercase, the provider will still accept it.

I needed a free digital photo editor to resample some of my pictures. I am glad that Gimp photo editor is available as a free tool for Microsoft Windows.
Downloaded the Gimp 2.2.14 for Windows. Two files are required:
1. gtk+-2.10.6-1-setup
2. gimp-2.2.14-i586-setup-1

I was trying to send email or save a draft from a composed email, but Yahoo mail keeps showing this error.

Error Report
DEBUG INFO: NoName:978
Name: TypeError
message:Object required
Number:-2146827864
Description:Object required
answers.yahoo.com Someone suggest to disable the chat (top left) to offline but I could not find that button.
I tried switching Yahoo mail back to the old interface and did a test send mail and it works. Next I switch back to the new interface and I can send a mail and save a draft.
Could this be a Microsoft Vista issue? Something to do with compatibility?

While reconfiguring or uninstalling applications from a notebook loaded with Windows 2000 professional operating system, I got this error during startup.

Did a Google search on rundll + oxidbvhj.dll no result were shown.
I have no clue what program I uninstalled resulted with the oxidbvhj.dll error.
I narrow my search to:
rundll + module could not be found
and found a piece of information I can use from this site forum.
http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/thread-1709341.php
1. Run regedit in the windows run box.
2. Goto [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVers
ion\Run]
3. Save the current registry before you do any delete.
At the right plane, you will see something like oxidbvhj.dll. Delete “DLLRunning” and restart the OS.

After deleting “DLLRunning” you will not see this error window message after restart the windows 2000 professional OS.
