    Update:

    Used the steps here Uninstall and Remove Software in Safe Mode to uninstall Adobe Air and other programs that were also installed the same day as Adobe CS4. I also attempted to uninstall Ad-Aware Antivirus Free version. It seemed to uninstall nearly all the way, then I suddenly got BSOD. I didn't get a chance to read the message though. My computer then proceeded to reboot in safe mode, but seemed to get stuck while loading Windows drivers, so I hit the restart button. It then started to run the Error Checking, which I had tried to do before but it always encountered an error and failed to run. After 7 hours it completed and I reached the windows log in screen. I didn't see if it had detected any problems though...I attempted to log in, but it just stayed on the welcome screen and never loaded the desktop. After 10 minutes I just shut it down and went to bed. This morning I booted in safe mode again and it seems to be working. I'm going to check and see if Ad-Aware is fully uninstalled and then try to boot in normal mode again.

    I'm suspecting that Ad-Aware has been the problem this whole time, as I never got any BSOD until I tried to remove it. Attached is new DM Debug.

    Second Update: No change, Ad-aware is not in remove programs anymore, but computer is still freezing. I have two yellow entires under Autorun.exe for the registry adawarebp_DATA_FOLDER and adawarebp_INSTALL_FOLDER, both say; File not found: rmdir. Is it ok to delete them and would it even make a difference?

    I'm rapidly running out of ideas folks, and I'm afraid I'm only making things worse....


    New CBS log attached, had to compress it

    Issue appears to be fixed after trying a startup repair with my windows disc.

    Thanks for the tips Paul and Roland
