A lawyer friend of mine had automatic updates turned on. One of them about a month ago said "we're going to make sure all the files you create/use with earlier versions of Micros$oft Office no longer work." She's been trying to restore her files now for two weeks, which is problematic as she is a lawyer and all her work is in M$O 2003.
To turn off updates on an XP system:
Click on Start
Click on Control Panel
Click on System
When the System window shows, select the 'Automatic Updates' tab
Click on 'Turn off updates'
Click on OK
Good luck!!
