Default Can't open any xls files

Excel 2003. I know little about Excel.
It can run by just starting Excel with a blank file. But any time I try to
open an xls file I get a generic error "Microsoft Excel has encountered a
problem and needs to close...". These files are able to be opened by Excel in
a laptop in the next room so the files are okay.

I have tried the fix and repair option in the Office setup. I have
uninstalled Excel and installed again (restarting after each). Still no go.
The rest of the Office installation is fine.

Is there anything else I can try please?
