Question

We can't open chess it says you have an old version. How can we solve the problem ?

Answer 1

i'm guessing you mean your chess application on your computer. it could be because it was the trial version that came with the computer and now just needs to have the long-lasting application installed. It could also have been if you updated some other applications, it needs to be updated.

Answer 2

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....

I tried it and had no problems playing several games.

Answer 4

HI:  I  use chess also and have th exact same problem.  Restarting the browser (Safari) does not help.  Nor does the clearing the  cache.  I think that this is Yahoo problem and yahoo is extremely difficult to contact.

This is a new problem within the last few days.
