Yahoo! Chess requires Flash Player 7 or later and JavaScript enabled in your browser.What do I need to do?

Question

I never had this problem before, but this is a brand new computer. What da I need to do to be able to play chess?

Answer 1

Problem is caused by newer version of adobe flash, that is version 9,0,115,0 and above.

Clearing your browser cache will not help.

Either install an old version of adobe flash or play chess in java (old yahoo chess).

If you choose to install old version beware as some new websites will not work.

Another option is to have 2 different browsers (eg IE and Firefox) one with newer and other with older version of adobe flash installed.

Answer 2

You will need to download both the Flash Player and the Java Script applet.  You also need to allow popups to play chess.  Here is a link to an answer to a question that was asked here a day or two ago.  I think the answers to that question might also help you.  Best of luck with it.

Answer 3

My answer listed in the above link is not your problem!

Being a new PC you need to set all your pop up blockers to allow yahoo games.

Yahoo games open with a pop up. Most toolbars like yahoo and internet explorer have pop up blockers! When you try getting in lounge or room and it doesn't work. click on pop up blocker on yahoo tool bar. On the drop down list click on Always allow tab it will say recent pop ups blocked. high light yahoo.com then click allow. On google  blocker click on blocker and  it will allow site.

. IE browser settings to allow pop ups Right click on Tools, internet options, privacy tab, cookie over ride. Type in Yahoo.com, allow then ok. This is the proper way to use the pop up blocker. I have never had a problem or had to hold any keys down to get in.

If you are using norton antivirus you may need to turn it off until you are in room.
