It makes perfect sense and it is easy to fix if you know some 
"inside information." QB2001 Release 1 had bugs. This made
Intuit quickly release a free website update. Unfortunately,
the nature of the bug made Intuit update the file format
so R1 files must be updated to R2. QB 2001 R2 can read R1 
files, but QB2001 R1 cannot read R2 files.

Also unfortunately, QB2001 comes with automatic update ON, 
so it probably updated your files. When you installed QB
again your again installed the R1 program. All you need to 
do is to web update it before reading the files. By the way,
always make 2 backups and restore one before you consider
yourself backed up.
