SYMPTOMS
The CPU brand string may be truncated in the System Properties dialog box in Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2).



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the CPU brand string is right-justified and because of size constraints, the last few characters in the string may not be displayed. This problem may occur in non-English versions of the operating system because of differences in the display font styles and scaling.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section.



Steps to reproduce the problem

 * 1) Click Start, click Run, type sysdm.cpl, and then click OK.
 * 2) On the General tab in the System Properties dialog box, see the CPU string information.

Note The brand string may be truncated.
