I'm not trying to be insulting in any way by repeating this and only do it because I have missed that step so many times, so I know how easy it is to forget, not to mention it sounds exactly like your problem.
I understand completely and am not insulted.
As it turns out, there was something screwy going on with the editor.
After uninstalling it completely and downloading it again, it is working properly
Iv'e tested it a few times and no longer have the problem.
Thanks for everything guys . Now that I have that figured out, I can start practicing more in depth stuff with the editor, so I'm sure I'll have more questions.
