The .xls file might be corrupt, it should repair automatically but that doesn't seem to be happening. There is a manual "Open and Repair" option in Excel 2007, a detailed explanation is at http://grok.lsu.edu/Article.aspx?articleId=3172
Alternatively try opening Excel .xls file in Google Docs http://docs.google.com - you need a Google account but it's free to sign up.
