Do you have Excel installed? In order to open an Excel workbook (file) you
must have the Excel program installed on your computer. Excel is not a part
of WindowsXP and you cannot download it for free from anywhere.
There is a free Excel viewer with which you can view the contents of the
file. You can download it at this site:

If you open the file and click file|print preview, do you see anything?

If yes, then the visible window could be just off the screen.

Try window|arrange|tiled
and you can adjust that window the way you want.
