Default unrecognizeable file

Win XP sp2
Fat32
MS Office 2003

I use a desktop and laptop PC.
The desktop is FAT32, & laptop is NTFS.(also XPsp2)

Normally no problems when openning Excel files taken from desktop to laptop,
but have just encountered a " file not recognizeable" error when openning a
file, which openned ok on the desktop.
Tried most suggestions from Google search....no better.
I can open other existing Excel files OK on the laptop.
The method for transfer of these files is an 8 gig memeory stick.
I have virus scanned the stick...OK
I have transfered another Excel file...unrecognizeable!
Transfered another different XL file and OK!!
Also opened MS word file OK after transfer to laptop..
All above "unrecognized" files open OK on desktop.
I am unable to track down the problem..please help.

I have backups of all files.

TIA
Terry
