I ran this Vista OS X package, but now it won't uninstall, so I need to change some things...

How do I change this

And boot logo (an apple >_>)

And at the login screen, it also says at the bottom : Vista OS X edtion

How can I change these?

I know "you shouldn't have run it", but it came with an uninstaller, which suddenly stopped working a couple of weeks later, srsly..

Regarding the Vista OS X edition, you could try modifying the shell32.dll file's bmp's and see whether it changes or not. Open it using any resource editor software.

you could try the uninstall in 'safe mode', see if the uninstaller will work that way. if not, try a 'repair' install, who knows how many system files are damaged?

best of luck

sometimes it will rename the system files to filename.BAK or something like that..download replacer and change everything back
