you must of edited the code.

Option Explicit is a script debugger, and needs to be declared before anything else, its on line 6 so you probably have some code before it

is the first code in the asp files suppose to be.....

<% @ Language=VBScript %>

after that is

<% Option Explicit %>

after I deleted the folder I had the files in on my computer, I unziped it again and looked at the files and this is how it came out

-----------------------------

I changed <% Option Explicit %> to  and I stopped getting the error on the page.

Does the "%" sign suppose to be there?

Line 6 is supposed to contain a copyright line, so you have either edited the file or it has become corrupted, try re-uploading the original files again, and don't remove the copyright as this breaks the license agreement that you accepted when you downloaded the application.

I re-uploaded the files and got the same thing. I guess the files are corrupted.
