Any change to settings.php causes security image not to show

I loaded Gbook using Simplescripts on bluehost, no problems. I can go in add posts, etc. If I open settings.php (using Dreamweaver) and make ANY change - just changing the title and ftp upload to the site -- the security code on the site will no longer work. I can recopy my back-up settings.php (which has not been opened) and ftp and it works again.

Even if I go back and undo and resave the settings.php it does not work again. The file increases in size by 100 bytes once it has been opened and saved in Dreamweaver - even if the changes are undone. What might be causing this and how can I customize my guestbook and still have it work?

Thanks in advance.

Notepad++ worked

I tried Notepad++ to edit and it worked. Strange. Anyway solved it for now. Must be some kind of Dreamweaver issue.
