Windows 7 Invalid file handle

[Fromage]

Hi,

Ok so heres my problem. Today I tried organizing my rather large gallery of pictures by adding Tags, Subjects etc.. to each of them. But every 3rd picture or so Im getting the error "Invalid file handle". No matter what I do, it just wont let me tag these pictures.

I tried using search earlier but strangely nobody seems to have gotten that problem yet. Nevertheless, I hope somebody can help me out.

Thanks.

It seems like you're encountering an issue with adding tags and organizing your gallery of pictures due to the "Invalid file handle" error occurring every third picture. This error usually indicates a problem with accessing or handling files during the tagging process. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try to resolve this issue: 1. Restart Your Computer: Sometimes, a simple restart can help in resolving temporary glitches that might be causing this error. 2. Check File Permissions: - Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to access and modify the image files you are trying to tag. - Try running the tagging process as an administrator to see if that resolves the issue. 3. Check File Integrity: - The error could be due to corrupt files. Try opening the problematic pictures in a different image viewer or editor to see if they open correctly. - If some images are indeed corrupt, try fixing or restoring them from backups if available. 4. Use a Different Tagging Tool: - If you're using a specific software or tool for tagging, consider trying a different tagging tool to see if the error persists. - Make sure the tool you are using is up to date with the latest software updates and patches. 5. Check for System Updates: - Ensure that your operating system and any related software are up to date. Updates may include bug fixes that can address issues like these. If the issue persists after trying these steps, it might be helpful to provide more details about the software or tools you are using for tagging and organizing your pictures. This information can help in providing more specific troubleshooting steps tailored to the software you are using.
