ok i posted this in GUI because i thought themechanger had borked my mac but i've fixed that prob by running aquafix
Loginwindow still crashes on boot. Is there any way to fix this without a reinstall?

I have had the same problems when I installed 10.1.5 on my old 7300/200. Sometimes when starting it did not come to the loginwindow.
Try starting up in verbose mode and see where the process stops. This could help.
Regards.
Sorry forgot to say in case you didn't know. To start in verbose mode hit cmd-V during startup.

The crash is after the verbose part of startup.
I inspected the system log and i know for sure that loginwindow is crashing.
I'll inspect its crash log now and see what going on in there

How do you manage to install OS X on a 7300? Do you have a upgrade motherboard?

Presumably he is using XPostFacto.

Move your /Library directory (eg, to /Library.bak) then reboot.
(NB: NOT your ~/Library directory, which would only cause problems after you tried to log in).
If it works, then there is some preference or font, or something else in there that's stuffing it up. Just a matter of narrowing down which one.
If it doesn't work, then you can just move it back again.

Same thing happened to me after I had changed a theme with themechanger. What I did was restarted in single user mode (hold apple-s) and typed tcfix. That did the trick for me, hope this helps you.

LoginWindow is borking because its not finding a shared library that it needs. You can try fixing this using Brass's good suggestion. If that doesn't work, you'll need to reinstall, unless you can somehow figure out which library is missing and replace it.
I'd guess that you're missing something that one of the theme files messes with, like CoreGraphics, for example. Themes really shouldn't be modifying this stuff...

Last time this happenned to me it wasn't aquafix i ran, it was tcfix, mjarski15 reminded me of this. I'm running tcfix at the moment and if that fails i'll try moving /Library. Thanks for all your suggestions guys. Here's crossing my fingers.
Edit: Still no dice after running tcfix, i'll trying moving /Library now.

As Anomalous guessed correctly it was XPostFacto what helped me to do the job. A and a couple of days spent ...
There must be a thread about that somewhere here in the fora. Don't have the url anymore. If you are interested do a search for 8500/180 or 7300/200.

No luck with that suggestion either. I'm down to two options, copying the /System folder from my dad's iBook to mine tomorrow when I get home or reinstalling. Hopefully the former will work.
Thanks everybody, if you have any more suggestions please do tell.

Yes, I found it. However, I also own a 7200, but that babe is too old, even for XPostFacto
