Please ensure that you have nothing before the <?php or after the ?> in any of the php files you've downloaded. Also ensure that you haven't inadvertently added anything (including blanks) before or after the same in LocalSettings.php.
The exception will be anything in the extension's php files that are obviously part of the HTML for a page (such as one might find for a special page extension). In that case, make sure there's nothing that was accidentally added in the process of up/down loading, editing etc.
