Hi Gang

I thought I would rename my computer so I did the procedure to change it and every time I clicked on change I got this little box. No matter how I would enter the name I wanted I would get this little box. I am not using an characters at all. This is what I am trying to put in "Dicks main computer" just like that with out the quotes.

I have tried this on 2 other computers with the same results.

Thanx...Gunny

You are not allowed spaces for computer names.
I've done this on my Macbook Pro (Boot Camp).

These are allowed:
DicksMainPC
DicksMainComputer
DicksPCMain

something similar to those, no spaces allowed.
