Opening a step File

Inventor is pretty bad at opening step and iges files. The file may be a newer version than IV can handle.
First option is to try to import them into mech desktop. The step translator in MDT seems much more robust.
I have had minimal success with step, and prefer .sat
There are also some translators out there that you can download a 30 day trial version (which will get you through this time).
