Just change your workgroup name to match the other one.  Workgroups are not created in the sense that a domain is.  You have to change the workgroup of every machine on the network to the same name.

if you are a member of a group you just need to go to the top and hit the resign  button.. it shuld be in the options at the top of the group page.. \nnow if some one closed the group and you keep getting invalid id...and it is suck on your groups list.. go to toms page hit send message.. select groups first option then remove group option.. you need the group url and your pages url to get it taken off.. it may take a while to do.. they will send you somthing stupid back but go to the link in there and you basically have to do it again..\nit works i have had one removed..\nnow if it is a group you created.. let ppl know first you are deleating it so they can resign first.. but the answer for this is in FAQ on how to do this..

Okay, the error "A Duplicate Name Exists on the Network" is given when two computers have the same "name" persay when you create a standard workgroup based network. You claim that none truly has the same name, but I find that hard to believe, it's possible, but it would be something I've never run into before. Not trying to call you stupid, and I apologize if this insults your level of expertise, I have to assume you know nothing in order to make sure I help you as much as possible. For an advanced answer and quick way to check if they truly have different names, go to the last paragraph.\n\nI'm going to assume you're using Windows XP. Open up "My Network Places". On the left hand side you'll see a menu, and one of the options will be "Create a Home or Small-Office Network" (NOT the wireless option one). Click through the wizard, selecting "This comptuer connects to the Internet through a residential gateway or through another computer." unless you know for sure it's something different. Click Next. On the next screen it'll ask for a Computer Description and Computer Name. MAKE SURE that the computer name is different for each computer. The description makes no difference. Click Next. On the next screen it asks for the Workgroup. Doesn't matter what you type in here, so long as you put in the same thing on every computer. I stick with the standard "MSHOME". Click Next, and on the next screen select "Turn ON file and printer sharing." Click Next, then Next again, and finally on the last screen select "Just Finish the wizard, I don't need to setup another computer, yada yada yada." Do this on each computer.\n\n\nADVANCED ANSWER: (For Windows XP or 2000) Right click on My Computer and click Properties (or go to Control Panel and then Select System). Click on the Computer Name tab up top. Check the "Full computer name" of each computer in question, and make sure they're unique. If they're not, click on the "Change" button. Input a unique computer name for each comptuer and make sure the workgroup is the same on every computer on the network, and click okay. You may need to restart your computer. If the problem still exists, you're beyond what I can help you with without actually being there in person.

Since you have a few I don't use, I'll give you my path; Click 'Start', click 'Run', in the space, type in 'msconfig'.  Then you click startup menu and click the ones that are checked that you don't want on startup (that removes the check mark) and hit apply.  You will have to restart your computer.  Some may not go off as they have other associated programs (like msn's messenger).  I hope one of these works for you.

No, you can't. Same way you're computer can't be part of two (or more) domains.\nThe hamachi workgroup has to create a share for you to connect to, and provide you with a username and password you can use when connecting to them.

You should be able to unistall the old one. If they were windows, it should ask you to overwrite the old version.

Well its easy. \nThe above situation arrives when you are not admin but you need to install some applications or remove some applications. For this purpose you can be a part of POWER USER group.

Be inactive for at least 3 months I think. Just stop checking it and it will go away. I don't think you can actually delete it.
