System Manufacturer Info

[Guest]

I recently built a PC and bought a copy of XP Pro for it. I got the computer set up and have my name in the System Properties box as the manufacturer via an OEMinfo.ini, but if I run dxdiag or MSInfo, the System Manufacturer field says something like 'To be filled by OEM' (don't have the exact phrase right now but that is close). Does anyone know how to set that field?

Greetings --

The information that you provide via Oeminfo.ini is displayed only
the My Computer - Properties, General windows. Both DxDiag and
MSInfo32 read the "System Manufacturer" information from the chipset
of the motherboard, and should be displaying the manufacturer and
model of the motherboard. Why your system reads as it does, I cannot
say. Perhaps there's an option within the BIOS of your particular
brand/model motherboard? You'll probably have to ask the
motherboard's manufacturer.

It's simply text to be displayed on the System Properties screen.
There are no rules. You can put anything there you want.
