Why won't new chess work, have cleared cache, uninstalled and reinstalled flash 7 and still won't work.

Question

I've followed all instructions, closed browser and reopened, manually cleared cache, uninstalled flash player 7 and reinstalled it and it still won't work. Are the servers down? I can play on old standard chess.

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

#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.

original and updated answer.

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

You are not alone with this problem. It happens a lot. There is no simple answer to your question. That problem seemed to start when Yahoo upgraded a couple of months ago and many people have had problems since then. If you browse through questions here in this category, both the resolved questions and the undecided questions as well as the open questions, you will find many other questions similar to yours with many people having similar problems. You may get some ideas about how to solve your problem, but it does not seem to be an easy solution, and the suggestions don't seem to work for everyone. Sometimes just waiting a while and trying again later works.  Best of luck with it.
