some time ago, I finally managed to install Snow Leopard on my PC. I can't install retail version, because Empire EFI doesn't work for me, so I'm using Haazaard's distro. It works fine, but they've changed some files (added ugly distro's logo) and I would like to revert them to original ones
So, could anyone post those files from retail Snow Leo install :
/System/Library/CoreServices/Installer.app/Contents/Resources/defaultBackground.tiff
/System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/MacOSX.tif
/System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/MacOSXServer.tif
/System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/AboutThisMac.nib/ (whole directory if there are more than 1 file)Synthesized Community Field Notes

I have a small problem with the 'About This Mac' menu.
When I click at 'About This Mac' no information is shown but a restart occurs.
I have installed 'SL_10.6.6i_by_Hazard' and upgraded it to 10.6.8 ... that worked OK
I have installed MaxOSX as a virtual machine in Virtualbox 4.1.8 (Linux host).
When I look at the files in:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Installer.app/Contents/Resources/defaultBackground.tiff
/System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/MacOSX.tif
/System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/MacOSXServer.tif
/System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/AboutThisMac.nib/
they are the Hazard logo with the gas-mask.
What could be the problem ... have Googled but no success ... also posted the problem to some forums ... but no answers so far.
Appreciate all help
I think you need this file.
Put whole folder in
/System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/
I copied the whole downloaded folder to /System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/
When I click at Apple/About this mac the screen goes blank and after some seconds my desktop returns ... but I don't get any popup window from About This Mac.
After the folder copy I changed the owner of AboutThisMac folder.
sudo chown -R root:wheel AboutThisMac.nibCould that be the problem ?
I am sorry for the mis info, it's been a while.
Paste the whole folder AboutThis Mac.nib in "/System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/Resources". Drag the folder "AboutThisMac.nib" (in the attachment) into the window that pops up, then log out, and back in. You should have the regular About This Mac window back.
I did following:
1. Pasted AboutThisMac.nib folder into "/System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/Resources".
2. Deleted AboutThisMac.nib folder in "/System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/Resources//English.lproj"
3. Logout/Login
Got the same thing ... when I click at Apple/About this mac the screen goes blank and after some seconds my desktop returns ... but I don't get any popup window from About This Mac.
What have I missed ?
