When I open a PHP page for editing in Dreamweaver the code '<MM: Beginlock TranslatorClass......' is added in the middle of a PHP tag by DW. This results in invalid code.
I came across the same problem on my system. (btw: I also received a message that I should check the Third-party tag library.....)
The previous answer to this was to reinstall DW completely... this work around does not appeal to me, I don't want to reinstall all extensions and reconfigure.
I have looked in to the problem and it was easy to fix:
When I opened the [drive:]\documents and settings\[your name]\Application Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver MX 2004\Configuration\ThirdPartyTags - folder there was a dud extension there called iframe. I removed the three corresponding files and restarted DW.
This fixed my problem (and saved me from having to reinstall).
Hope this works for you too.. I expect that other problems with 'phantom code' can also be solved in this way.
