Hi. I am new to the forum. I am using Windows Vista Home Premium (with current updates.)

I am having this same problem; however, I seem to have stumbled on a temporary 'fix.' When I get this error, I open Paint from Windows Photo Gallery (WPG), and just click on File and just Save (I made no changes in Paint.) When I go back to WPG, any changes I make will 'autosave.' It's an annoying extra step, but at least I'm not completely stalled. It seems to 'unlock' the file, if that is what the problem was.

I am only a GUI user, and keep hunting and clicking until I find a solution (or not.) I have no idea why this works. It also works if I use any other photo editor program (i.e. Adobe Photoshop Elements) and then go back to WPG.

I haven't worked on my photo editing for a while, so I don't know when this problem started or what triggered it, so I didn't want to try the Restore plan. I have no idea how far I would have to go back.

As I said, I'm no computer expert, but I thought I'd share this in case it helps point to a solution.
