Sure, lots. 

First, if you're using Windows, make the PM window as small as possible
when you go to open the file. This reduces the chance of it being something
drawn onscreen that's killing you. (Mac folks, our options are more
limited... I suppose switching to 640x480 resolution wouldn't hurt...)

If you can open it without it crashing, try saving as a v5 document under a
new name. Then try converting the v5 file back to v6.

If that doesn't work, upgrade and try opening the v6 file in v6.5.
