Language files need to be saved "Without BOM" ("Byte Order Mark").
Most text editors operate in "without BOM" mode, but sometimes when non-english-speaking people create files they have BOM mode enabled in their editors, and that sets a special character at the beginning of the file ... which PHP treats as text. Outputting that to the browser is treated as sending page-headers ... and when that happens too early in the execution process you get the symptoms you've been posting about: headers-already-sent-on-line-1.
Saving the file "without BOM" (or "not With BOM") usually solves the problem. But if you don't know how to change the "save mode", typing out the file's contents by hand into a new file will probably suffice, especially since you're in Texas, even if you do speak 'merican ... at least it's a derivative of English.
but retyping the file clean in Notepad++ did not fix it...
