Dell logo on system properties not available...

The "Dell" graphic you want is a 6k file called oemlogo.bmp and it should be the c:\windows\system32 folder in order to appear on the General page in System control panel.

There's a backup copy of it in c:\i386 on my D8400. If you only find it in c:\i386, copy it to c:\windows\system32, don't just move the file to the other folder.

And this leads to the interesting supposition that you could probably name any small .bmp file as oemlogo.bmp and have it appear on that page. The possibilities are endless! ;)

The file with all your service tag info is OEMINFO.INI in c:\windows\system32, but I'n not sure which file actually creates the Support Info button you have to press to see the service tag info. There are several oem___.bin and oem___.dat files in the folder so it may be one of them.

Edit: Curiosity got the better of me and I renamed OEMLOGO.bmp and substituted one of my own .bmp files with that name in c:\windows\system32. Sure enough, my .bmp image now appears under the heading "manufactured and supported by" on the General tab in System control panel.

Well, that's a different story. I have no idea how to replace the "i386" folder.

 

As far as help and support customizations, you will have to have the installation program for that.

That same website you was at has it, I believe. (PC Health)

I have it on my computer, however, the  User guides are for a Dimension 4400. I lost mine when I reformatted the first time.

I was able to get it back, thanks to Bay-Wolf's site, and my Dell CD.

That's why before doing your first reformat, you may want to back up the PC Health Folder.

That is weird. I do not have the answer for that. What language did you select when you installed XP??

You may want to try going to control panel, and  choose Regional and Language options (in classic view) and see what you have selected. I have English--United States.

Otherwise, I have no idea. Hopefully someone else does.

 

 

Glad you were able to restore your oemlogo.bmp file from Bay Wolf.

c:\i386 folder is not an essential folder. It contains backup copies of XP system files that are only used when Windows needs to replace a damaged/missing file in some other folder.

You can try running a Windows system file check to see if it will create c:\i386:
click start>run
type in: sfc /scannow
(space between sfc and /)
click OK
Insert XP CD if sfc requests it. Reboot when it's done.
