My main system properties display recently began to look like this:

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.

It is also accepted by microsoft as a flaw in the system.

Following article is there to support it:

Now, this is a flaw with windows xp and doesn't look we have a solution on this. Good job bringing it forward.

If somebody has some other opinion, please do post your opinion.

Thnx
