 Cannot change computer workgroup I had to reformat and install xp on one of my machines. I am the only administrator on the machine, but it won't let me change the computer's work group. It is grayed out. Suggestions?

I only know that its "greyed out" on limited accounts. Try setting up a new home or small office netwrok?

Try logging into safe mode. Sometimes when you get the windows log in screen it might only show 1 account but when you log into safe mode youll see 2 (1 being administrator). Try it from there.

ah, good call. My guess would be some fucked up group policy. I wouldn't be surprised if it was home edition doing that though. And I concur, what's with the avatar?

just to cover all bases....
you are right-clicking my computer
choosing properties
going to the computer name tab
clicking the 'change' button
and putting (or trying to put) the radio button next to workgroup
right?

No, i think his 'change' button is (was) greyed out.

Satis, that is what I was trying to do, but as derf said, it was grayed out. Using the network wizard enabled the button.

well, that's odd. I can guarantee I've never used a network wizard to set up my network. :p Ah well, glad you go it working.
