You cannot do this
Anyone run across this message yet? I placed a computer desk, computer and chair in front of it. Tried to do something on the computer and all I get is an error saying "You cannot do this". Any tips for getting this to allow me to use it?

I think you need a desk chair and it needs to "snap" to the desk. I have this same problem with my dining table/chair but the computer desk works fine, so she eats there :ftlslug:

This happened to me just now - the desk I was using was two tier and once I switched it to a flat one, it worked. Not sure if it's because I was trying to practice programming which means the PC projects a separate screen, which the two tier desk would've been stopping
It's not just computers. I placed instruments camera yoga pad keyboard "you can't do this"

Have you noticed that very few televisions work. They are just a Samsung screen with no program on it.
same here. I try to adjust it so many times but still not working
Make sure you place the chair on the table correctly, they should be quite close to each other.

Sounds like a tribute to MC Hammer... Where did I put those baggy pants?

same here. I managed to get it working, swapped the position of the desk and chair cos it seem that desktops need some space to work

I also had the problem of not being able to use a computer. Tried every desk with every desktop and notebook, but nothing seemed to work. So I tried moving the desk and chair around in every angle.
After a while I found a solution that worked reproducibly.

I solved the problem as follows:
I used the "Alt" key to push the chair so close to the PC that at some point it visibly snapped into position on its own. Then I realized that you can more or less connect the chair to the PC on the desk (in this position, the chair is almost under the desk).
That connection is also possible without the "Alt" key. Same for the chairs at a dining table.

To use the PC, the character will pull the chair back, sit on it, and move forward to the PC.

It happened to me, and it just means there's some item on the desk, which is REAL close to the PC. Remove it and your PC should run fine.
