Win7 won't let me rename computer?

[DatacomGuy]

Trying to rename the computer name in Win7, but when I change the name, "OK" is grayed out and I can't save the change..

Any thoughts as to why? I'm logged in as an admin user.

Right click Computer, click on Change Settings on the right side of the page, then when the next menu opens click Change (where it says "To rename this computer click Change").

Is that what you did?

I'm an idiot. Problem was that we were trying to change the case of the name to all lowercase, and it wasn't seeing the change to lowercase as an actual change, so it wouldn't let me 'OK" out...

all fixed.
