XP SP2 System Model & System Manufacturer

[Tiny Lund]

I built my own PC. Is there a way to name the System Model and Manufacturer
so that when I display system info it will say something other than none?

Sure, open notepad and create a file called "oeminfo.ini" and put in your
"system32" folder - sample contents below:

; Manufacturer and Model are displayed on System.General page
; Manufacturer is a required field
[general]
Manufacturer=Dell Computer Corporation
Model=Dell Workstation PWS450

Thank you just what I was looking for!

I spoke to soon. I tried to do the procedure and also downloaded an OEM logo
stamper that didn't appear to work either. Do you think SP2 could be at
issue?
