That filter won't help.  The problem is below the level at which 
filtering - and packet dissection - is done.

The problem is almost certainly that, as Ulf says, the file is damaged. 
 There's nothing we can do to fix that problem.  If, for example, you 
FTPed the file from a UN*X (Solaris, Linux, OS X, BSD, HP-UX, AIX, etc.) 
system to a Windows system, or from a Windows system to a UN*X system, 
and you didn't FTP it in binary mode, the file was damaged by that, and 
we can't fix that damage.  In that case, you'll have to try transferring 
it again, and this time try binary mode.
