.htaccess file error

I was editing my about pages on my blog today and when I hit save I got a 500 Internal Server Error and my site wasn’t accessable all of the sudden. I commented out all the wordpress rewrite code in my htaccess file. The site is working again, but now none of my images are working. I’ve included the wordpress code in my htaccess file causing this.

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
