As an aside: note that atmfd.dll has been identified as having a severe vulnerability allowing remote web sites to take control of your computer. A recent windows update corrects it. That update apparently has had a few problems of its own. I don't know whether installing this update will help or hurt the freeze, given that for me the security scan happens during boot.

I was appealed by this experiment. I have 8 copies of that Adobe shit on my system (system32, syswow64... and winsws files), but alas the system refuses completely to alter those files, as protected by some system stuff. I really does not care about the opentype font, so I'd like to try it... i'll
will first try to remove those fonts from the system...
