Unsupported component prefix type '$'

[lp2952]

I am designing a circuit that uses the LP2951 adjustable micro power voltage regulator chip. I have gone through the tutorial on how to add a component correctly for simulation. I have downloaded the SPICE file (model) from the TI website and loaded into the component I created. I cannot seem to run the simulation without 152 errors.

List of errors:

Hoping to find a solution to this problem. 

Thanks

HERE IS THE MODEL FILE FOR THE LP2951....what's wrong with it or incompatible with multisim?

http://www.ti.com/product/lp2951-n#toolssoftware >> on the right side of the page is the SPICE files for the LP2951

HELP...

Did you look at the file with a text editor?  Here are the first 4 lines:

**$ENCRYPTED_LIB
**$INTERFACE
*$
* LP2951 Model

Unless you have the means of decrypting the file, I doubt this model will do you much good.  The only things in plain text are some comments and the .SUBCKT declaration and .ENDS lines.
