The files are probably damaged beyond repair.  See if you can open them with an 
archive utility such as 7-zip or winzip.  If either of those cannot open them, 
then they are damaged, probably beyond repair..  The filter selection message 
means that OpenOffice cannot recognise  their format and almost always this 
means damaged in transfer from Win XP to a more modern machine..
