Lynn;

Paper Size tab | Click the V to see more.

[[Click one of the paper sizes supported by your printer, or click Custom
size and then enter the paper size dimensions in the Width and Height
boxes.]]

No printer installed probably explains the Paper Size issue.
No printer/no paper/no size.
Don't worry about it 'til you install a printer. :o)
===========

[[To rename a computer
Open System in Control Panel.
On the Computer Name tab, click Change.
Under Computer name, type a new name for the computer, and then click OK.
 Note
To open System, click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and
then double-click System.]]
