I replaced one bulb of 4 incandescent bulbs with a compact florescent

load of the florescent lamp screws up the dimmer.

Are you trying to control the CFL with the dimmer (can't do that) or
is the fixture with the CFL simply on the same branch circuit as the
dimmer but not controlled by it?
Not really I just forgot it was on a dimmer when I went to replace the
bulb. I was surprised when all the other lamps came on full brilliance
when I put the CFL in.

I put a cfl and a 75W incandescent in a common ceiling fixture on a
dimmer. The incandescent lamp dimmed normally down to halfway. The
cfl stayed at essentially full brightness until the incandescent was
at 1/2 brightness, then it went out and the incandescent lamp steyd at
the reduced brightness and then dinmmed the rest of the way normally.
