Rick,
Mine is working fine today. I have never had your problem. You seem pretty certain that the problem is Resedit, but since others are not having the problem that you are, it must be something to do with your specific computer.
Did you try disabling your antivirus? (I am running both Webroot and Malwarebytes antiviruses.)
How about a fresh reboot?
Is there another computer that you can try it on?
It also is possible that your copy of Resedit is infected. Try uninstalling and then reinstalling a fresh copy.
