My main system properties display recently began to look like this:
http://server6.uploadit.org/files/aerowind-ProblemAppearance.JPG
I found the problem, which is this:
http://server6.uploadit.org/files/aerowind-ProblemCause.JPG
Due to the fact that my system properties didn't look like this when I first got my computer, and also that the hardcoded processor name has no offending spaces in it (see final screenshot below) I blame Windows.
If I try to change the registry, it reverts after any restart.
*Hardcoded Name:

Thanks for any help.

How do I fix the appearance error? It shouldn't look like that. The processor name and CPU speed should be on their own respective lines, but there's some extra spaces I can't permanently remove in the registry messing it up.
