Got an issue where by I believe after the installation of IE 10, it breaks the Mail To functionality as the URL Protocol Registry key and possibly other sub keys are missing and are not correct. Forum post on spice works page : IE 10 mailto bug opening tons of windows - Spiceworks Blog Explaining and or showing the issue(s) : Twig's Tech Tips: Internet Explorer 10: Mailto bug opening lots of windows MVPS Site : Multiple browser windows open when you click on a mailto: link Patch / Resolution is to re add the URL Protocol registry key which can be done something like so : reg ADD "HKLM\Software\Classes\mailto" /f /v "URL Protocol" /t REG_SZ /d ""

Be good to see any progress / updates, just to see how you get on and if you manage to repair this MBP

Thanks @Arthur - always got the spot on info !! Two ways 1) Update to the latest version of snow leopard and use the app store to install yosemite 10.10 - http://www.apple.com/uk/osx/how-to-upgrade/ 2) Create your own installation media ( memory stick with at least 16gb ) http://www.macworld.com/article/2367748/how-to-make-a-bootable-os-x-10-10-yosemite-install-drive.html Personally I would create and test the usb memory stick option just in case option 1 goes wrong, that way you can at least boot off the memory stick and install OS X 10.10 freshly

Other ssd's will work just means trim won't be enabled. There is trim enabler but then your system is less secure Link and info thanks to @Arthur https://www.reddit.com/r/TechNewsToday/comments/2m6wga/yosemite_kills_thirdparty_ssd_support_zdnet/cm1kig2 Must be full dis assembly vids or info either on youtube or ifixit

Good good - I am hoping to ( get an 850 pro, maybe two ) as building my PC in the next month or two Like you say - good to know it will last a long time and can take a hammering ( so to speak )

There is an issue with java after version 7 update 67 where by the dns resolve function does not work with pac files. Let me try and find the link https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8062034 Think its this one but will confirm for sure when im back at work tomoz Work around is to install the working version of java so version 7 update 67 ( latest version of java where the dnsResolve function in java worked ) or use google chrome / firefox We reverted some users to an earlier version of java

Any senior IT tech roles going at the same place ?

What @Norphy suggested sounds like a good plan in that case

You mean eDrive which requires an SSD or hard drive that supports eDrive ?
