Thanks for the quick response, Jim and King.
Just to rule out the possibilities I ran ScanDisk and no errors were found on my hd and there were no bytes in bad sectors.
I then ran AVG and no virus was found.
The only plugins I have are for Tivo and Library server (neither of which I use).
Here's my system info:

Let me be more specific about the error messages I get when I encounter this problem (I was operating from memory in my last post.) When I try to change the tags after the process finishes I get the following:
Media Center encountered errors while tagging and moving files. Check that the files exist and are not in use by other programs.
Yes, I am sure the files exist and no other media player or program is running that would be using these files.
If I then try to play one of these files I get the following error:
Media Center was unable to play any of the files in the playlist. Please make sure that the path in Media Library points to the right location and that the files are not being filtered by Access Control.
This last error I think refers to the fact that the files have been renamed. Here are two examples:
01-LEG~1.MP3 from 01- Le Garage.mp3 (original filename)
02-ROB~1.MP3 from 02- Robot.mp3 (original filename)
That's all I can think of to add; thanks for your attention to this.
