Cannot edit metadata

Hello everyone,

I have a huge problem with Calbre on Windows 7. I recently upgraded my MSi U160 netbook to Win 7 and since then I can't edit book metadata, like titles or tags, individually or in groups. This happens on books I could edit on Win XP. I get the following error message:

calibre, version 0.9.11
ERROR: Failed to set data: Could not set data, click Show Details to see why.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\library\models.py", line 909, in setData
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\library\models.py", line 983, in _set_data
File "site-packages\calibre\library\database2.py", line 2224, in set
File "site-packages\calibre\library\database2.py", line 2558, in set_title
File "site-packages\calibre\library\database2.py", line 2494, in windows_check_if_files_in_use
File "site-packages\calibre\utils\filenames.py", line 290, in __init__
error: (123, 'CreateFile', 'The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.')

Oddly enough I managed to edit a few but since then this error always shows up.
I reinstalled Calibre but that didn't change anything. I transferred my library from the standard Documents folder to my Google Drive folder but that didn't change anything.

I Googled extensively for this error but no one else seems to get it...
