| 370797 | 2005-07-09 17:47:00 | OK . . I got a strange one I think . I just went to my Systems card, and the Computer Name is greyed out . :help: Is this why my Micro$oft Messenger is messed up too? I looked into the Control Panel>>System>>Computer Name tab and there is no name in the box . I can click on the Change button, but then there is nothing else available to reset the name there . I can see the old name of the puter in highlight, but it is unaccessable at that point . Any ideas? |

| 370805 | 2005-07-09 18:39:00 | you have me stumped.... does it really matter if it is greyed out? | Prescott (11) | ||
| 370806 | 2005-07-09 18:39:00 | Prescott: actually, I was trying to figger out why Messenger is all snafu'd..and this is the only thing I hit right away...but it baffles me that this is so. I mean, why is it not available to me...the Lord King and High Executioner of this computer "The Administrator" to change the name of the computer if I want to...after all..there is a button that is supposed to let you do it....but NO! not for ME! hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm |
