Okay I want to turn off register_globals due to the protector module letting me know it's not a good thing to have that on..
'register_globals' : on Not secure
This setting invites a variety of injecting attacks.
If you can put .htaccess, edit or create...

But when I edit the .htaccess then I get an internal error for the whole site.

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

How do I then turn off register globals but keep my site up?

When you get an 500 error after editing the .htaccess, this means usually that some instructions in it are wrong or have a bad format.
What did you add?

Maybe with:
php_flag register_globals off
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

Another possibility is that your hoster disabled .htacces .
Open a ticket for that case or switch to a better hoster.

or PHP is running in CGI mode. in which case you can't use php flags in .htaccess you have to create a php.ini file instead.

this is discussed many times on this site if you search
