When will you fix the cache error problem for yahoo! chess? there are many complaints on the message boards...

Answer 1

Previous poster is correct.  These questions have been showing up for weeks now, since Yahoo updated a couple of months ago.  Some people make suggestions about how to fix the problem, which you will find if you browse through the questions here in this category, the resolved and undecided questions as well as the open questions.  Give some of the suggestions a try, but most people continue to have problems.  The problem seems to be with Yahoo, and it is slow to be resolved.  I have not seen any information to suggest that a solution is even being worked on.

You have to fix it. Yahoo can not remove your old demo!     Here's how;    

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. There are 3 ways of doing this,not all PCs are the same,Try them in order until you get the old demo deleted.

#1 Click start button, then search, click on files/folders, type in yahoo chess. When file comes up, right click on it and then click remove. Next time you visit Yahoo chess it will prompt you to download the new demo of Yahoo's newest version of chess.

#2 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.

#3 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.

#4 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.

5 Flash player 9's latest update 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.

I think the real problem is that the old version isn't capable of recieving updates from the Internet. This means that Yahoo can't effect the program, as it never programmed it to do that, unlike most programs, which will give you a pop-up to ask you to download the new version of the program.

It was just bad planning on Yahoo's part. What's worse, it doesn't seem they've made information about updating to the new version readily available. Half the questions in here are about emptying caches to play chess - Yahoo really ought to have at least a good explination for fixing the problem in some sort of FAQ.

But, it doesn't seem like that's going to happen soon.
