Answer 1

Recently Yahoo updated their chess software program and you now need the new version. The first thing you will have to do is remove the old software demo. Standard clearing the cache does not remove game demos (deleting browser history old files clearing cookies, etc) They have to be deleted by manually selecting the Yahoo demo program.

Go to tools on your tool bar, then select Internet options, browser history, settings button, view objects. Select the game chess and then delete it.

OR

Go to start,my PC, click on C-drive, open the windows folder, open the downloaded programs folder.your games are listed there. delete the chess file.

Internet explorer works best with yahoo games. If you are trying to use Foxfire make sure Sun java is checked as default java as it will not work with msn virtual machine java

Go to tools, internet options,advance tab. Scroll down to Sun java check it and java scrolling and JIT.

Yahoo keeps working on the chess bugs and changing the demo....

If you played chess before,You have a chess demo. Otherwise there would be no conflict. Thing is Game demo's are not tempory files they are programs. Stored on your hard drive so clearing browsers does not effect them.

For a few people That are using flashplayer#9 The games are not playing!

Flash player 9's latest update 9.0.124.0

is causing some games to not load.use the link below for a download of Flashplayer #9 with debugger should work as it's older then last update. You have to remove the present flash player,(add/remove programs in control panel). reboot then download the older version.

Yahoo will next recomend you update and install the latest Flash player.  When that does not work they'll reccomend you dowload and install the latest Java.

When that does not work, try

That is online chess -yahoo

Try Star's stuff first, but keep this link handy.:)

Sometimes the connection doesn't work due to high server traffic or network problems. You may also face problems if there are stale pages in the cache. If you are facing problems, try entering some other room that has few members. You can also try entering some other game room (bridge, pool, etc). If none are working, try upgrading your java runtime from www.sun.com. If you are facing problems only with chess, it could be a server problem. Wait for a while and retry.
