How can I get old excel document to open (unable to read)

[gizzy94]

I restored and upgraded my computer to xp. I had old excel spreadsheets full
of client information saved on disk. I am getting a "unable to read file"
error when trying to open these.

If you're using Symantec/Norton AntiVirus, try disabling the
Office Plugin that comes with it. See
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=329820 "How to use Office
programs with the Norton AntiVirus Office plug-in" for more
information.
