I don't really care which program I work on it, but I don't have the time or patience to rename all the *.mus files *.musx one by one.Thanks!

The newer programs will open .mus files from the File menu.
You don't want to rename .mus to .musx. The reason for the two different file extensions is that the file format is different--way different. But that's not the reason for the error message. It sounds to me like your file is corrupt, but if you want to upload it here I'll take a look.

Do you have a copy from your home computer from before you took it to work? I realize this might have been years ago. Maybe contact the IT guy and see if they can decrypt?
