Is there a way to display OEM string in the "Data Fields view"?

The "Data Fields" view shows fixed data fields defined by DMI standard for Type 11 structure. The string itself is not a part of defined structure. As long as you have one and only one OEM string in this structure, you can use following trick for display string contents in "Data Fields" view: Choose Tools->Edit DMI Object Description. The DMI.INF will be open in notepad Locate description of OEM Strings (type 11) Replace existing definition Field "Count" // Number of strings Type Byte EndField with Field "String 1" Type String EndField Save DMI.INF Restart DMIScope Please consider: This trick will work as long as you have only one OEM string. You can modify only data shown in Tools->Write SMBIOS Data... dialog and only if your PC supports persistent write via DMI Interface. DMI Write test will find all fields marked as writeable.

Locate description of OEM Strings (type 11)

Replace existing definition

          Field "Count"                           // Number of strings
              Type    Byte
          EndField

with

          Field "String 1"
              Type    String
          EndField

Save DMI.INF
Restart DMIScope
