Problem loading STL files

When ever i try to load a stl file i just get a jumbled mess like this.
Anybody know what is going on?

If the object is not manifold then some software has problems with it.

Do the following:
Download the netfabb Studio Basic software.
Install it.
Double click on an .stl file (netfabb Studio Basic should start and open the file).
Click on the RED PLUS in the TOOL BAR.
On the bottom right click on the "Apply Repair" button.
Click on "YES" when the "Remove old part?" confirmation question appears.
Select from the main menu "Part - Export part - as STL (binary)" and specify the pathname.

NOW you should be able to load the STL file in the RepRap Host Software.

P.S. You can also export as STL (ASCII) if you want. The file is large but then human readable.
