Re: System Manufacture/model
It may not be possible then unless you wiped out your system and reloaded it from a full version windows cd and not the restore cd image as that image will probably also have the same info on it. It may be a small utility with the dell dagnostics running as a service watching for when you bring up the dialog, it would subclass it and add the button and system information. Doubtful that it can be modified unless reloaded like mentioned.

Re: System Manufacture/model
Last time I used it 3-4 years ago on Win98. Now, I have tested it on Windows Server 2003. It works.
May be this guide will help you : http://www.petri.co.il/change_or_add...nformation.htm

Re: System Manufacture/model
I just couldnt get the image to show. I guess the link is just supposed to be text and not a working link. I used to have a Compaq system at work and it had a link to their site on the manufacturer lines.
I'll try a 96x96 bmp instead of the 120 I was using.

Re: System Manufacture/model
Yes, except it was 32 bit color depth. Ill try a 256 right now.

Re: System Manufacture/model
I tried 96x96 1 bit color depth and in the system32 folder named as LOGO.BMP and still nothing. Forget it. Too much trouble for this. The specs and support button are good enough I guess.

Re: System Manufacture/model
1) The image should be 96x96 pixels (doesn't matter much)
2) The image should be saved in your System folder with 256 color depth as "OEMLOGO.BMP ".
3) There must be a OEMINFO.INI file in your system folder with atleast the following lines:
Code:
[General]
Manufacturer=abcd
Otherwise the pic will not show.

Re: System Manufacture/model
I haven't tried it, according to this page you can change picture of the monitor too.
If you want to change the monitor picture too, you've got to modify "sysdm.cpl", in your system directory too. It's a 16-bit file within Win 95/98/Me, so you'll need eXeScope, a worthwhile shareware resource hacker (the freeware alternative doesn't do 16-bit files). Within Win 2k/XP it's a 32-bit file, so Resource Hacker will do; the .cpl is a non-protected file, so exchange is easy. More instructions here. Note on the palette: you'll need to stick to 16 colors, but these don't need to be the standard VGA colors, a custom palette will work.

4.8GHz Dual core means the chip has 2 processors sandwiched together and connected in parallel. Think of it as RAID for CPUs.
