Re: Excel Recover
Are .xls files not just a specially crafted CSV file? If they are plain text open it manually and make the nessecary fix...otherwise try different applications 
Re: Excel Recover
I think you can try a popular Excel file recovery tool called Advanced Excel Repair to repair your Excel file. It is a powerful tool to repair corrupt or damaged Excel files.
