Toshi,

The same thing happened to me recently, and I solved it by deleting the 
cache data from the file. Here's how: Open the file with a text editor. 
Then delete the CacheID line that appears near the top. Then scroll 
down to where the cached data begins (near the end) and delete 
everything starting there. Save the file and try to open it with 
Mathematica.

Hope that helps,
