I cannot say that I have any expertise in the matter, but I feel your pain. Others more experienced may well come with better suggestions/ >From comments I have read on the list, try saving a copy, rename to ~.zip and unzip the file. I presume you have 7-zip or similar. You can then look at the components to see if anything is damaged. If the worst comes to the worst I am willing to try opening the file on my system if you like to send it off-list, and it is not too confidential. At present I mostly using 2.0.3rc on a linux box, but I have "standard" 2.0.2 as well. That may remove or introduce other problems of course.
