    That information is contained with in the BIOS, to change it you must change the BIOS.

    I recently built a new computer... When I type, "dxdiag" into Run, the System Manufacturer and System Model say "To be Filled by O.E.M.". Does anyone know how I can fill in these sections?

    Please remove thread if this is a re-post. sorry

    YOU CANT. OEM=original equipment manufacturer.

    You can clear the cmos and reset the bios but as soon as you boot your OS will query and get the same info.


    What is the problem with what it is displaying? is it just annoying you, or is there something more you arent saying

    I would be more concerned with XP and 1 gig memory

    There is no guide. Every BIOS is different.
    Changing it can be very very very disastrous.
    Just leave it alone.

    The reason why I want to edit it is because I bought a computer form a friend and the info is incorrect. It's still under warranty but when i took it in they said that they can't help me because of modification or something like that. They ran msinfo32 and dxdiag tell me that this is not the computer. I just need to edit it back so I can get back the warranty.

    I have edit it using may programs but it only change the screen where you see your computer rating and cd-key. For msinfo and dxdiag, I have yet to find out a way to change info on that. This is driving me nuts HELP!!!
    You are correct in what you say here. It is possible to change what it says on the rating page. However, both System Information and DxDiag both query the actual hardware and will report what they find.

    I'm a bit curious as to why you want to change it.

    One last stab at this. IF you change BIOS it is possible to make the computer unable to boot. Is it worth it to get the correct text displayed?
