    Sorry to hear that before a busy day! :S
    have you tried using other lenses on the body as error 99 is a broad spectrum fault that usually applies to shutter but can also commonly involve lens errors too (there are over a 100 subfaults of the error 99 that are found using service software).

    Also on another note,what is your shutter count? 1D mkIIs should have a roughly 200K lifetime give or take a good amount, but average would be the 200K mark (shooting burst kills shutters sometimes in half the actuations as shooting with lesser frequency).

    If you would like I could take a look? PM for details if you would like me to.

    I was getting Err99 on a 400D a couple of years ago.
    Then some c u next tuesday robbed it out of my car before I could get it fixed. Not a day goes by that I don't wonder if he/she ever solved the problem

    OP, I had Err 99 on my 50mm 1.4 and zerohamster repaired it. The lens is working perfectly now and I have to say I'm very pleased with the service.
