Greetings,

This means your account hasn't been verified.  In order to change your display
name, you need 
to click the verification e-mail sent from Windows Live ID Services.

Sometimes it can take nearly a day for the e-mail to arrive if you just signed
up.  However, 
assuming you haven't received it, you can request another verification e-mail
from here:
