Transferring file from laptop (windows 8) to desktop Vista , cannot open in desk top, but works from desktop to laptop? Get "corrupt item in file error"

I use X4 on both my laptop (win-8) and desktop (win-Vista) Transfer files to an external drive, or flash stick. I can open all files on my laptop, but not the other way around? Keep getting error message "corrupt item in file" abort, retry, ignore.

Abort of course closes the file, Retry just keeps showing the error message, and ignore  freezes up or opens the file with 90% of the file missing?

Like I said using X4 on both machines, both with same version and updates (other than fonts)
