Try this solution:

launch redsn0w.exe, go to Task Manager, go to the "processes" tab, right click on the redsn0w.exe process, select "Set Affinity" and select only one CPU.

This has helped some users and may fix your problem also.

Do you think this method would help me as well? I run win7 64 bit or is this just a vista fix?

Might help. I run win7 x64 and have not had any problems - but I don't have multiple CPUs in my system
