Excel files won't open - read-only encrypted

J

I have 2 Excel 2002 files that won't open with the message they read-only or
encrypted. This is on WIN XP Pro.

Prior to this happening I remember them showing a message that they was a
sharing violation - I can't see how as this computer is not on a network and
I am the only user anyway.

I also deleted all files in my temp folders and did a re-boot.

Anyway now I can't even open, delete, rename, email or move the files. I
have run a virus checker and carried out chkdsk.

Anything else I can do to check the problem?

It can't be a damaged disk could it?
