Go to options for reading, removing and saving tour tags.  
Read: Tick all tag types.  
Remove: Tick everything except v2.3  
Save: Just tick v2.3.

Select one problem file to test and right click\>Remove tag. Dont panic it only removes everything except v2.3 you have set in the options.

Then ctrl+S to save the tag.

Also use a program called mp3val to scan your mp3 and fix there integrety.
