'error renaming the file' message in Windows 7 Pro

I wonder if anyone can help with this infuriating problem, please?

I have just started using a PC running windows 7 pro, on it I've installed xnview which I use to manage and organize a large collection of aircraft images (stored on an external HDD), when viewing images (as thumbnails) in xnview's browser, if I want to change the name of an image, all I had to do previously on my old pc (which ran XP SP3) was to right click the image, select 'rename' from the drop down menu, rename it, press enter and hey presto, image renamed. Now, on the windows 7 pc, when I do the same thing, everything is ok up until I press enter to rename the file when the message 'error renaming the file' pops up constantly! It's doin' me swede in, can anyone identify what the issue is and if there is a fix, please?
