I followed the steps in this question. The registry location was different, and in fact didn't contain "Hewlett-Packard". I searched and replaced this in the registry (RegisteredOrganization, Company, CompanyName, RegCompany keys where applicable), and I deleted the dat file, but the splash screen still displays the incorrect data.

However, Help -> About... displays the correct data.

How do I get the splash screen updated?

I'm running Win 8.

The root cause seem to be that the OS itself is registered to HP. Pre-installed machine? This will fix the about dialog: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/4248ffc5-14ff-4b6d-a74b-460218bcf7c3/hp-hijacked-my-visual-studio-registration?forum=vssetup

To update the splash screen delete: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\vs000223.dat
