Unable to save changes to edited photos in Windows Photo Gallery

This hasn't been a problem until recently... now I get an error message that states 'an error is preventing Photo Gallery from saving this picture'. It will save changes made by rotating ONLY not cropping or color changes.

Windows Photo Gallery Error
Hi there , I had the same problem too! I got on to Micrsoft Support and they asked me to remove Kodak software . which I have just done and now I have no problem with saving edited photo's any more . If you have a third Party photo editing software , try removing it and see how you go . Good luck!! Regards Margy Jr.
Unable to save photos
When you try to save a jpg with any photo editor and you get the error trying to save I found the problem is a corrupt copyright field in the details page of the file's properties.
You can get properties on the file in question go to details tab. scroll down to Copyright un Origin section and remove the characters. Select apply close the file and you're back in business.
I found this in freshly uploaded as well as pre-existing. When uploading same files from same source using same tranfer method to another vista pc with same secturity patches installed the files had no copyright value problems. Still trying to find out what is causing the field to become corrupt. ( unrecognizable character sets populating the field.
Good luck.
