Can I use the Viewsonic SRS WOW HD sound feature?

I downloaded the "SRS WOW HD MAC" driver from the Viewsonic website for my Viewsonic LCD display speakers but it opens as a text file. How can I use the SRS WOW HD sound feature in iTunes? I was able to use it in Windows Media Player with the same display. Thanks for any ideas.

Mac OS X (10.6.4)

What's the 3-character file extension for the file you downloaded? It sounds to me like you may have downloaded a Windows version.

it opens as a text file.

And what does this text file say?

Just checked and it is a .sit file (StuffIt Expander file) and it contains an installer package.
What happens when you double click the downloaded .sit file?
Yo can download a free StuffIt Expander application here -> http://www.stuffit.com/mac-expander.html

Chris,
It starts with this text :

"StuffIt (c)1997-1998 Aladdin Systems, Inc., http://www.aladdinsys.com/StuffIt/"

and then probably hundreds of characters like these:

"è“8√“«ˆ°≤ó≈”g_Ø24ÖWô$$ÙF".

Read my previous post.
You need to download *Stuffit Expander* and install it to unstuff the file.

I can confirm that ViewSonic's SRS iWOW installer is a StuffIt file (that's what the .sit filename extension means) and that StuffIt Expander will do the trick.

Regards.
