Open the run command by clicking Start >> Run and type in:
regedit.exe click [OK] or Hit Enter on your Keyboard.
On the Registry Editor locate the Key Mentioned like this:
[-] HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current
Version\RegisteredOwner = and change the Name to what you have in Mind

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\RegisteredOrganization = change to whatever name you want
like workgroup for ex.
then after finish close the Registry and Reboot the machine.
Also by Right click My Computer and select properties then click Computer
name Tab.

Or try this fix:

Why are you telling me that, isn't that what I said? Maybe you should
have clicked on the supplied link and read what it says there before
posting. I supplied the link because I didn't feel like typing the
instructions, I'm lazy at times, but not so lazy that I can't click on a
link and read before posting!
