Dear Forum,

Could somebody explain why the latest version of Flash Player makes Yahoo
Email chat unusable?

- Today (October 17, 2008) I uninstalled the old version of Flash Player and
Adobe Shockwave, rebooted and installed the latest version directly from
Adobe's website.
- Yahoo Email chat function returns this message 'Your browser must have Flash
9.0 or higher installed to load the chat feature.'
- Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs shows 'Adobe Flash Player 10 Plugin
(10.0.12.36), Adobe Shockwave Player 11 installed.

I don't understand why this Yahoo message is appearing when I have version 10
installed?

Thanks in advance,

Peter.

PS: Please note that I also have 'Adobe Flash Player 9 ActiveX' installed as I
use Firefox 3.0.3 on a Windows XP SP3 system and sometimes some website
components don't function without this ActiveX software.

Please also note I understand the difference between Flash Player and
Shockwave Player and the fact they are two separate things. As mentioned I have
the latest versions of both programs installed.
