AshUK Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 When I view my system information in Help and Support Center there are some points where it says "To Be Filled By O.E.M." Does anyone know how to change this so I can enter my made up OEM name, lol. I've tried the OEM thing in X-Setup and i've searched regedit and found nothing. Any help?

n-ctrl Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 This is done by 2 little files in the system32 folder, for older windows versions these are located in the system folder: 1. OEMINFO.INI Copy/paste this text in a new notepad textfile called oeminfo.ini : [support Information] Line1=Support information is keyed here Line2=Additional support information is keyed here. [general] Manufacturer=Name of Manufacturer is entered on this line Model=Model of the PC is entered here [OEMSpecific] SubModel=Name of the sub-model is entered on this line SerialNo=The serial number of your system is entered on this line OEM1=OEM information is entered on this line OEM2=Additional OEM information is entered on this line Not all lines are required though. 2. a graphic image called OEMLOGO.BMP. This graphic should be placed alongside the OEMINFO.INI file in the C:\Windows\System32 folder and will appear below the Microsoft logo on the General Panel of Control Panel | System. The graphic will not be displayed unless OEMINFO.INI also exists. Here is the specification for the graphic image: Filename : C:\Windows\System32\OEMLOGO.BMP Format : Windows Bitmap (BMP) Uncompressed Width : 180 Pixels* Height : 114 Pixels* DPI : 72 or 96dpi Type : 24-Bit RGB Colour some threads on Neowin on this topic : https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?act=...ST&f=33&t=53681 https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?act=...6005&hl=oeminfo Here's mine : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshUK Posted May 17, 2003 Author Share Posted May 17, 2003 Thats what X-Setup does, but this problem isnt anything to do with OEMINFO.INI Anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memoryx Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 I think those areas in Help and Support are are built into the OEM versions of Windows XP, someone correct me if I am wrong; just my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
