computer stopped booting, need help!

[Felverick]

ok, so here is my issue. Today i was bad and was installing a pirated copy of photoshop cs4. I went thru all the motions and the install froze my computer near the end. after rebooting it i get a black screen with a movable cursor. I went into safe mode and turned off the Adobe items listed in the msconfig file

any other suggestions?
