Chip Pearson has some notes to help diagnose startup problems at:

You might be able to recover more by using another program--both xl2002+ and
OpenOffice have better reputations for opening files that earlier versions of
excel couldn't.
(http://www.openoffice.org, a 60-65 meg download or a CD)
If the file is really important, there are commercial recovery services. I've
never used it, but you might want to check into:
