You do not tell us what USB drive you are talking about or what file extension the driver file has when you downloaded it.
Maybe you have a PC driver instead of mac. Maybe you have the right file for mac, but downloaded it on a PC, therefore screwing it up royally.
More info would help.

Email me the file THEY sent you along with any email text they sent with it and I will look at it. Thier website offers no Mac driver d/l's, and that's kind of fishy.

It probably got its resource fork stripped out when you received it on your PC.
Tell them to resend it as a binhex file. Transfer that directly to your Mac and *then* decompress it.
