If the computer is not allowing it, then all the conditions are not being met in order to do it.

Make sure:

Your are not in check,

The King will not be in check if he does castle,

The King is not moving across an attacked square,

The rook your are castling with has not already moved.

Are you moving the rook? You have to move the king to the spot where he goes, the rook will automatically go to the right spot.
