anyone have trouble with Flash and the old FSM

Until recently with my change to Windows 10 and a current version of Adobe Flash, my FSM would open with a browser.

Now I run matrix.htm as normal, choose year>model>Chassis and Body (or any of the choices) and get a pop up asking whether to allow Flash to connect to the internet. I used to be able to answer "Yes" and go about my business. Now it's stuck. I get no FSM program response once the pop up comes. The browser continues to function normally.

I'm looking for all of the torq specs on the front end. I'll try another computer running Linux & Win 7 but need to fix this.

I'm looking for torq specs for lower ball joint to lower control arm and upper ball joint to upper control arm.

Yes, (Mac) I cannot access the FSM due to a flash issue.

I have the latest adobe update.

I can access it on a Windows unit, however.

Also, not long ago, my IT girl said I don't need to be on the internet, she's right. That was when I could open it on the Mac.

I have a paper manual with that info, PM me if you can't get it anywhere else.

Yes, I have the same problem. I need to use the "tab" key to get to "yes" then enter. Another reason to hate windows.

My Linux laptop now has the same issue. I think it's because of Flash writing vulnerable software and forcing updates. I hate Windows especially the new stuff mainly because you can't lock it down and keep it from phoning home. That and the system ID is now used mainly as a marketing tool. I keep it because of a very few desktop apps that don't run on Linux.

Professor Google has become akin to a virus. I've read that Duck Duck Go doesn't log IPs or keep records of an individual's searches.

I found the torq specs by opening the pdf files close to those I'd printed earlier. The car should be driving this week. I just have springs, shocks, hub & some engine compartment pieces to put back.

Thanks for the tip about the TAB key. Didn't need to hit it until recently.
