Vista doesn't ask for the owner name/company name of the PC when installing it. Some programs read these settings from the registry when setting up the program. Sometimes they don't let us proceed when the company name is blank. You then have to fill it out all by yourself. To get over it, use the following registry modifications to enter/change them. (applicable to 2000/XP as well)
1. Click on the Start Button and type in regedit and hit Enter.
2. Navigate through HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SOFTWARE, Microsoft, Windows NT and CurrentVersion.
3. Right click on RegisteredOwner and select Properties.
4. Enter in the new RegisteredOwner value.
5. Right click on RegisteredOrganization and select Properties.
6. Enter in the new RegisteredOrganization value.
7. Close Registry Editor.
1. Click on the Start Button and type in regedit and hit Enter.
