I get an alternative solve. It works well in Windows7 also. The code will be,

       {
            string a = Environment.MachineName;
            string b = Environment.UserName;
            string c = Environment.OSVersion.ToString();
            string d = Environment.Version.ToString();
            MessageBox.Show(a + "\n" + b + "\n" + c + "\n" + d);
        }
