i cant highlight or delete the workgroup name. the box is grayed out. the workgroup name is fine though. i just stated that so people might need to know that i cant. i left the workgroup the default on both computers.

And You're Doing This As An Administrator?

If you're performing these steps as an administrator and it's still not allowing the change, then try restoring the computer to a time when things worked right.

Hope this helps.
