"Many Mac users are having problems with the LW 2.8.x anyway so you may want to backup and give this one a try. It works well for me.

Tried above link and downloaded ... trouble is same "file corrupt" message occured. Is there any way to download an earlier version where this won't occur as with 2.8? I was able to use it late last night but now the file corrupt message keeps showing up.
