Computer description

[Guest]

I am in the process of setting up my home network. For some reason on my
laptop when I navigate to the box labeled "Computer Description"
(Start>Control Panel> System>Computer Name) it will not allow me to enter
anything into that box. The box is there but is empty and I cannot activate
the box. I can enter info into the Computer name and workgroup boxes but not
the computer description box does anyone know how I can do it?

Thanks
