If his key does not work, it's most likely because of a reinstall (or
fiddling with the certificates). If so, you need the backup from before
that.
If you do have it and it still doesn't work, it's because he most likely
encrypted the files with the 128bit update installed and the update is no
longer installed. This will cause the key not to work because of algorithm
differences. Install the 128bit upgrade on his system.
If you don't have the key with which the files were encrypted, the files
are lost.
