Syntax error on line 1 of http.conf: invalid command \xff\xfe#

["Mark A. Craig" <mark.a.craig@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have a rather bizarre httpd.conf error with Apache 2.2 on Windows 
2000; I attempted to make some rather simple edits to the logfile 
portion of it, and now when I test, start,or restart the server I get 
the following error displayed in the console (DOS) window:

Syntax error on line 1 of C:/Program Files/Apache Software 
Foundation/Apache2.2/conf/httpd.conf:
Invalid command '\xff\xfe#', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module 
not included in the server configuration

What the heck is going on?  Not only did I not edit the first line, all 
it contains is the standard comment line that has been there all along.
