Lost my Processor description

[slowlaris]

Hi all,

 

I got a weird cosmetic problem... I have lost the CPU description in 'About this Mac' . I am getting an Unknown instead of something like; Intel Core 2 Q6700 Quad Core bla bla bla.

 

Here is a screenshot of my 10.5.2 Kalyway (upgraded to 10.5.3 with Kalyway combo update) for your review...

 

thanks all and long lives the Hackintosh

I am in the exact same situation...

I want my CPU recognized back

[slowlaris]

found it!!

 

Here is how to Edit the file;

 

 

cd /System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/

 

sudo vim AboutThisMac.strings

 

Then edit that line: "ABOUT_BOX_SINGLE_PROCESSOR_FIELD_FORMAT" = "%@";

 

for something like that

"ABOUT_BOX_SINGLE_PROCESSOR_FIELD_FORMAT" = "Commodore Vic-20";

 

Then reboot!

 

I hope you like what if put instead of a modern CPU?

 

good luck!
