Mac owner using an Eee notebook to run STHS at a loss here.

Had never had any problem with STHS in three years using it.

Then I got a prompt from STHS to download the "newest" version. Once I did that, all hell broke loose.

No version of STHS runs anymore, be it 3.0 or any of the other ones in between that or the latest.

I can't even run line files that other GMs are sending me, the error message pops up whenever I download STHS or try opening it. Can't do anything else with it.

Anyone has any idea what I could do ? Getting pretty desperate here. Thanks a bunch.

Linked here is a screen photo of the error message :

Hi.

This type of error mean the file you are trying to open is corrupt.

Very well.

But the latest version I am downloading directly from the website.

How do I get an uncorrupted file... if not from the website?

Is there a way around it?

Thank you for your quick reply!

The STHS Client is not corrupt. The file you are trying to open (The STC file) is corrupt.
