Thanks 'puppies'.
When I try and register I get the following message
"RPC Server Error: In method 'wallet_account_register': unknown account (20006) "
Not sure what to do.
I am not exactly sure, the errors in the gui client are not that easy to figure out. Is there a . in your name? periods are only used in sub accounts.
Try going to the console and typing
blockchain_get_account <account>
If you get something like
>> blockchain_get_account puppies
Name: puppies

Not a delegate.
Public Data:

"gravatarID": ""
}
then the account name you would like is already registered. You will need to pick another name. You can do this by typing
wallet_account_rename <current_account_name> <new_account_name>
if you get something more like
>> blockchain_get_account not-puppies
No account found.
then I don't know whats wrong, and you will need to wait for someone that knows more about this than me.
