What I see there in your image is a standard look for a CF encrypted template, a little header followed by lots of unreadable stuff. Nearly every file in CF admin is encrypted for IP protection and looks like that if you open it in a text editor. That infers that there is something else that is wrong, the server seems to be not decrypting its own code. Have you tried comparing the apparently bad file with a good one, is it different? Would a simple restart of the server fix the problem?
