How do I fill the OEM information in a home assembled computer?

Hi Everybody,

I assembled a new computer based on the ASUS P4P800 Del motherboard and installed Windows XP Pro. After a while, I noticed that in My Computer -> Properties, the computer name just had "To be filled by O.E.M." written on it.

How can I fill or modify the O.E.M. information?

Thanks, in advance, for all tips.

Click Start, Run, regedit and navigate to the following key.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion
Double click Registered Owner in the right pane and edit the Value data.

I would think that to rename the computer in WinXP, you right-click My Computer -> Properties -> Computer Name and hit the Change button, and then type in the name you want to give the computer, as well as the workgroup.

I am sorry. Probably I haven't explained myself very clearly.

What I meant was the information about the computer manufacturer that appears on the "General" tab of My computer -> Properties. The first line of Computer section just has written "To be filled by O.E.M". Also, in the information tab of ASUS Probe application, I found the following lines:

Manufacturer: To Be Filled By O.E.M.
Product name: To Be Filled By O.E.M.
Version: To Be Filled By O.E.M.
Serial Number: To Be Filled By O.E.M.

There should be a way to fill up that information about the machine system.

Thank you.

Just found instructions for manually editing the OEM info.  Just read the instructions here: http://www.techtv.com/screensavers/windowstips/story/0,24330,3331647,00.html
I loved the X-Setup Pro.

Thanks very much for everything.
