Ah, I would love to see this! I personally have an IBM 2137 E46 with the original windows install long gone, and it would be neat to make it look a bit more authentic. I know there have been other threads here for sharing OEM wallpapers and graphics, so I don't think it would be a problem?

All right, here it comes: I got my Aptiva running Windows 98SE with these sources

The attached ZIP one contains these files:
- c:\startlogo.oem (Win 95 startup screen; not sure what it does or if it is special at all)
- c:\windows\IBMBLUE.BMP (nice low res background)
- c:\windows\OEMLOGO.BMP (full blown IBM background; my favourite)
- c:\windows\OEMWALL.BMP (small IBM logo)
- c:\windows\OEMINFO.INI (OEM info that should be displayed in computer properties)
- c:\windows\system\IBM.SCR (IBM Eye Bee M screensaver)
Please note I have copied them from an old hard disk and zipped them. Checked fo virusses at my Win10 computer with Windows defender (none detected), but further as is. Use at your own risk.

Aptiva application CD-rom (Aptiva Demo, IBM Antivirus, Voyetra mediaplayer etc).
Confirmed to install into Windows 98SE without trouble.

Aptiva 2137 drivers and some tech data; DOS, Win 3.11, Win95 and Win98.

If you're missing something, I can always see if I can find what you're looking for on the hard drive; I didn't wipe it..

Edit:
These Archive.org downloads are all in English. Personally I'm fine with it, but if these would be available in Dutch I would prefer that. Would be more suited for where I live (The Netherlands)

No personal use for it, but great work. Love to see little efforts like this.

So I gave it a try…

The startlogo.oem file you've included is identical to the one included with the Windows 95 OSR2.
The "oemlogo" and "oeminfo" files need to go into C:\Windows\System, at least on Windows 95.

Looks great, and the screensaver works nicely. Unfortunately this system is currently in pieces on my bench at the moment (I only just got it working after troubleshooting a ram issue), but it will certainly look the part now if I get it cleaned up and put back together 😀

I'm sure this will look really nice on my Thinkpad A31p with an IPS screen.

Thank you for this! 😀

Looks nice! Great to see these files became helpful 😀

This looks nice. Thanks. Does anyone know if the old Thinkpads with Win95 used to come with these images/screensavers? I have to restore one, and maybe I could use this files in mine.

Don't know about the ThinkPad series... But since IBM did reuse some of its images, slightly modified for the drivers, they may have been using them I guess? It's not unlikely...

You can find most a lot of the original ThinkPad customization files here:
