On my home computer my operating program is Windows XP
Home Edition. I am receiving emails with attachments
prepared using Excel (xls). After downloading, I am
unable to open the file. Comments, suggestions, etc very
much welcome. Contact me at: (e-mail address removed)

thank you, ken cole
 
You can't open a file unless the application with which it is associated is
also installed on your System. Excel, is not now nor has it ever been a
part of any Windows operating system, it is a separate application, a
component of Microsoft Office.

That said, there are free viewers available that should let you open and
read the attachments:
