Have you asked PST Web Support
(http://support.pstnet.com/e%2Dprime/support/login.asp )? I would
try that first.
Also, latest release of EP2 is 2.0.8.90, so you might also try updating.

Do you have any special characters in your problematic files (such as
letters with umlauts, Japanese/Mandarin/Hebrew text, etc)? These seem
to cause various problems for E-DataAid. In which case (if you can open
the file in any way) you can export to text, replace the problematic
characters & save, then import.
If you cannot open the data file at all, you might try a handy trick
that was posted to the group recently - change the file extension from
.edat2 to .edat then try opening it with E-DataAid v1 (assuming you have
access to version 1.x).
cheers,
David (the other one).

My immediate thought would be there's something either wrong with your e-dataAid install (so reinstall), or the data-files themselves. I think the first step the people over at PST will want to sort out is whether there's a problem with your E-DataAid (presumably with its install then, perhaps missing .net components or whatnot), or whether your data-files are somehow corrupted. Have you checked yet whether anyone else can open them? Have you tried re-making the .edat files with E-Recovery? When exactly does E-DataAid crash anyway (during opening of files, during some analysis, &c.)?
As a side note, does anyone else think e-Prime should, in this i-Age, change the name? I'm personally of the opinion that Me-Prime sounds better (although perhaps a bit too late, as YouTube, MySpace and YouGov have all lost that glossiness... Gee-Prime and /i/-Prime will probably end up to be rather costly).

As I recall, the name "E-Prime" was meant to evoke
"Experiment-Prime", i.e., "Experiment'", somewhat in the fashion of
Isaac Newton's notation for derivatives; and so "E-Prime" was meant
to evoke a system that advances experiments to the next level. But I
don't know where I read that, and I can't find a citation now.
I was never fond of this affectation (just like I was never fond of
PST calling experiment programs "paradigms", or calling VBA/E-Basic
source code "script", etc.). But I understand the name, and in that
sense I suppose E-Prime makes more sense than <any other letter>-Prime.
Just my US$.02,
