I can't change computer description

[v0id]

Hello all,

I have one problem. I can't change computer description here. I am running Windows 7 (7600) with administrator account.

I cant write there, it it doesn't allow me, and not showing Text Select mouse only shows me Normal Select mouse.

Any help would be appreciated!

Does this work?
Change the registry value HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters\srvcomment.

Go there, add a description.

 

[Antman]

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\LanmanServer\Parameters]
"srvcomment"="INSERT HERE WHATEVER YOU CHOOSE"

 

[SquonkSC]

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\LanmanServer\Parameters]
"srvcomment"="INSERT HERE WHATEVER YOU CHOOSE"

But apart from if this will work or not, isn't it very odd he can't type there?

Never encountered this before. lol

I'll do a run through gpedit. It may be in there. If it is, then it may be tweak related. Apply a tweak here, see an unanticipated effect over there.

Did you follow Shawn's Tutorial? http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/18760-computer-description-change.html

Have you tried restarting, sometimes if you make certain changes it won't let you change other details until you restart.

Works on mine.

If the OP is correct, he did that as Step One.

@Mr GRiM

I even can't edit this it dosent allow me! Its like there is nothing there!

If your goal is to modify the Computer Description, have you attempted a direct registry edit or merge? If such an attempt fails, the cause of your "problem" is readily identified.

If your goal is to identify the cause of the "problem", please advise.

In this screen shot it says description and workgroup Not Available, but it states in options window you have open that it's WORKGROUP, out of interest are you able to change the name of the workgroup, just thinking that somehow it's connected.

antman, i don't think the op groks regedit.

 

[copernicus]

Well it looks like you have an activated RTM build.

Wouldn't be surprised if that may have caused it.

 

[mickey megabyte]
