Hey All,

 

I'm making this guide, as many users on IRC have mentioned their System Profiler was not working on AMD/SSE2 Systems - This is due to it dividing by 0, hence the crash.

 

It's a very simple process. So if you have Leopard working you'll have no problem with this!

 

1) Download SPPlatformReporter.spreporter.

2) Extract the Zip file, and browse to /System/Library/SystemProfiler - delete SPPlatformReporter.spreporter

3) Copy the SPPlatformReporter.spreporter you extracted from the zip file to /System/Library/SystemProfiler

3) Open Terminal and run the following commands:

 

Terminal Code:

sudo -s

chmod -R 755 /System/Library/SystemProfiler/SPPlatformReporter.spreporter

chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/SystemProfiler/SPPlatformReporter.spreporter

rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions.mkext

 

 

4) Reboot.

 

OS X will now allow you to start System Profiler as per normal.
