Well, its kinda hard to do anything with your issue. Terraria has the feature to automatically backup your save files to prevent the loss of your progress. If you loose the original save file this backup file loads your world in. If the backup file fails to load, well, then you are lost and your files are corrupted and I don't know anyway to get them working.

-Don't you ever copied the original saves from C:\Documents and Settings\My Games\Terraria to another location? (I usually do to prevent loosing the saves and the backups. So I manually backup them) If you do so, try to overwrite your world files in the original folder. (but DO backup them before editing)

-Same problem happened to me once when I tried to host my 1.0.6.1 version map on a 1.0.6. version client. That's due the version incompatibility. Try to update your game client or downgrade it.

Can you tell me what happened to your client / saved game that did this "damage" to your files?
