It seems that a new or modified component in SP2 latches onto the workgroup
Computer Name and kicks up a fuss if you change it. Prior to installing SP2
the name can be changed on demand, but after SP2, I get an error message
from the Visual C++ Runtime Library. Trouble is, the error message is
corrupted and gives no help in sorting out why the message appears.

Does anyone know why C++ runtime complains when the Computer Name is changed
and what can be done about it?
