You should be able to right click the file and select Rename from the menu. Though you have to make sure not to change the file extension, otherwise your file won't work.

If you are not aware of the content, move everything but the file from the folder and delete the folder. Or reboot to DOS and change the name here.

On windows: Right Click on the file, and click on rename in the drop down window. Then delete the old name and type in a new shorter name, that would work.

I'am not sure but I think you have to rename the file and if it's not working- you have to pull everything that you have out and delete it. or buy a new memory card and install it again. Do not buy a new computer because it easy to fix.
