Error When Using Online Services: CC-899

Updated: 4/16/2013 | Article ID: GEN83194

Overview

A CC-899 message usually appears when the computer cannot establish an internet connection. This may be due to the system's internet settings, firewall, router, a pop-up blocker, Internet Service Provider (ISP), or a server outage.

Instructions

If only one Financial Institution is receiving the error it is likely a temporary server error. Wait until the next business day and then attempt your session again. If there is more than one Financial Institution receiving the error it is not likely a server error.

Check your system date and time settings

Incorrect system date and time settings can prevent a secure connection with your financial institution.

  1. From the Start button, select Control Panel.
  2. Double click Date and Time.
  3. In the Date/Time Properties window, set the correct date and time, and then click OK.
  4. Start Quicken and attempt your online request again.

Restart your computer

  1. Save your work and close all open applications.
  2. From the Windows Start menu, choose Restart.
  3. Select Restart and click OK.

Reset your Internet Explorer settings to Default

  2. Go to Tools > Internet Options.
  3. Go to the Advanced tab.
  4. Click the Reset button in the Reset Internet Explorer Settings field.
  5. Click Reset in the pop-up box.
  6. When reset is complete, click Close.

Update your computer's root certificate list (a solution for Windows XP users only - if you have a different operating system, skip this step)

If you use Windows XP, and you've tried the solutions above and you still can't connect, you may have an outdated SSL certificate. Windows XP contains an optional system component called Update Root Certificates, which, when necessary, connects to the Microsoft Update web server and downloads certificate updates. If this component is not installed, you need to periodically update the certificate list yourself. Here's how:

  1. Click this link http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3/static/trustedr/en/rootsupd.exe.
  2. When prompted, click Run to begin the root certificate update.

Note: Please contact Microsoft customer support if you have any questions about the update program. You can also learn more by reading this Microsoft FAQ: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/931125. Look for the section titled Root Update Package (intended for Windows XP only).
