Yahoo chess and clearing the cache?

Question

Hello :) My windows has just been reinstalled and now when i try to play chess on yahoo games, it gives this message: "You have an old version of the client on your cache. You will need to restart your browser. Manually clearing your browser's cache should fix the problem". I use Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer, but there is no difference. I am using the same versions on my older PC and the work fine. I have installed Flash Player and Java. Please if anyone has some idea how it could be fixed, let's help.

Thanks.

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. Good Luck.
