[Solved]LaTeX error

Hey guys!
I'm not sure how exactly to fix this.  Whenever I import a class like graphicx or color, I get the following error:

ERROR: Missing number, treated as zero.

--- TeX said ---
<to be read again> 
                   ^
l.30 \catcode`\^^
                 A=\catcode`\%
--- HELP ---
This is usually caused by a LaTeX command expecting but not finding
either a number or a length as an argument. You may have omitted an
argument, or a square bracket in the text may have been mistaken for
the beginning of an optional argument. This error is also caused by
putting \protect in front of either a length command or a command such
as \value that produces a number.

Does anyone know how to fix this?  The main problem is that this is being thrown in the color.sty or graphicx.sty...
Thanks in advance!

[edit] Played around some more and figured out you need to place the \usepackage{graphicx} before \usepackage{geometry}.  Once I made it the first usepackage statement, everything worked out fine!   Mods can delete this thread if they feel like it
