My Yahoo email was working fine until a week ago. Now every email I try to send or reply to I get a message " Unable to send.message. If you are sending a link, try adding some text to it. This helps us to fight spam" This happens even when I'm not sending a link!

I try adding more and more text, no results. My email is fine in Explorer and Chrome. Spent time with Yahoo support, diagnostics, they say not their problem.

Cleared the cache, no results.

Note that your System Details List shows multiple Flash plugins.

  1. Shockwave Flash 13.0 r0
  2. Shockwave Flash 17.0 r0

You can find the installation path of all plugins on the about:plugins page.

You can check the Flash player installation folder for multiple Flash player plugins and remove older version(s) of the plugin (NPSWF32) and possibly (re)install the latest Flash player.

  • (32 bit Windows) C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\
  • (64 bit Windows) C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\

Cor-el, if you can tell me how to delete the flashplayer 13.0 ? I upgrade Adobe Flash and I get flashplayer 17, which I already have , but that flashplyer 13 shows up again and again when I check the extensions. This has happened several times, Thanks!

The about:plugins page should show the file path of the Flash 13 plugin, so you can only remove this version

Note that this will remove all installed Flash players.
