This sounds pretty strange.

Check if there are all files, of the client in the folder.

GfxEffects.tbl
illarion.cfg
Illarion.exe
images.tbl
persons.tbl
tiles.tbl

This are the importaint ones.

If they are around, try to reinstall the client.

This sounds like you've tried to view .tbl files with Excel. When you right-click the file, and click "Open With..." is that file type checked to "always open with" Excel?
