Why does yahoo chess keep telling me I have an old version in my cache when I know it's been cleared?

Question

It keeps telling me to restart my browser and clear the cache, but that doesn't work. It's gotta be stupid yahoo, right?

Answer 1

The few answers given can be misleading.  I know from experience that the search method did not work for me and the internet browser history did not give me anything resembling yahoo chess.  I have no experience with the third option listed so far.   However if you go back to tools>internet options>browser history >view files you'll find how many days for internet files to be saved.  Click 0 or 1.  You'll be able to play the next day.  This is the option for lazy people like me who don't want to mess up any of their existing add ons

Yahoo blames you if they s***w up.  Other sites s***w up, but don't tell you to download this and that then still don't work because the server is down.  They just tell you the server is down.

Goo can help you. Recently Yahoo updated their chess software and you now need the new version. The first thing you will have to do is remove the old software. Standard clearing the cache does not remove game demos.(deleting browser history old files clearing cookies, etc) They have to be deleted by selecting the Yahoo demo program. First 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. Some folks are having a problem with the above procedure. If you did, please try this instead: 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. If all that still doesn’t work then try uninstalling your flash player 9 to an older version flash player 7. Good luck.

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 manualy selecting the Yahoo demo program. There are 3 ways of doing this,not all PCs are the same,

#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. You can click update the file or delete the chess file.  I tryed both ways and got in.  

Make sure you have pop up blockers set to allow yahoo games.

I use flash player 9 which is needed for games now with no problems. The old #7 will not play many yahoo games.
