dwm.exe crash/no aero/will not run!

I've done the WEI refresh. It's 5.9 because of the hard drive transfer speed. Everything else is 7.4 or up so its more than capable. I think the issue is because dwm.exe won't run. If i could get that to run aero would be fine. something is making it crash and close everytime i try and restart it.....

And as far as Norton goes, it ran fine for a few months with Norton installed. Only thing that has changed is the driver updates. I just screwed up and did too many at once, didn't realize my recovery points weren't turned on. so i did too much, it messed something up, and now i don't know what to uninstall without removing half my OS and messing something up further. I was hoping someone could look at the event log from when it happened and might be able to decipher what the issue is. I'm fairly competent with figuring things out, but the error code language is beyond my capabilities.

That's everything with a created date from the time it happened forward. Everything before was in march and wasn't manual. Hope this is readable for you....

i'm pretty sure it was like this on the fourth though, so the few that got installed on the 3rd have to be the problem. Plus i know i installed about 20 different ones at the same time, that tool isn't showing that many, unless its grouping some together or something.

Ok first of all is to start with the graphics driver for a roll back. Do you have two anti virus's?

i've tried restarting dwm.exe numerous times. It immediately gives me the error message DWM.exe has stopped working and has been closed/ A problem caused the application to stop working correctly, windows will notify you if there's a solution"......... and closes. That's the problem, it will not run no matter what. And i have no idea what is making it close....

I will start with the graphics driver tomorrow, try rolling it back and see what happens. Had a few drinks so i don't want to further complicate the issue tonight. I just have a funny feeling that it won't change anything. IT seems as if the new drivers actually put new programs on the computer as well, nothing strange, but on the start menu, nvidia and intel were both lit up as if there was new software present...that may be normal idk. Anyway, do i start with nvidia or Intel HD 4000?? because i believe both had componenets updated. Also, i don't think there's just 1 driver for each correct?? i seem to remember numerous components of each having individual drivers...... Sorry if i'm sounding ignorant, just trying to get a handle on what will remedy this situation without further damage.

Thank you to all that have given me input!!

Yes there was both of them thats why I said start with nvidia :)
