Surround your files in parenthisis "" when you open them from Windows Explorer, ie "filename.xls".
If this does not work try opening the same files on another machine, if they are jibberish as well then your files are corrupt.
You may have to load a backup copy of your file/s to ultimately solve your problem.

Hope this helps!
