I use Adobe Photoshop and Bridge CS5 on Windows Vista SP2.
Recently I had a nasty virus on my laptop that had eaten away some of important .dll and .exe files and thus caused problems with many software applications. However, I have cleared the system of the virus now. The faulty applications get fixed when I reinstall them.
Similarly, I did a full cleanup and reinstall of Adobe Photoshop CS5 too. I even used the "AdobeCreativeSuiteCleanerTool.exe" and made sure I had no Adobe CS products on my machine before I reinstalled. As a result of this, Photoshop CS5 works fine, but Bridge CS5 fails to start up.
I see the below error when I try to launch it.
"View problem details" has the below error:

I have tried installing the latest Adobe Photoshop CS5.1.
I have even done the option of resetting preferences by holding down Ctrl key while launching Bridge.
I have also tried deleting everything under the below directory:
"C:\Users\Adarsh\AppData\Roaming\Adobe"
I am convinced it is not a problem with Bridge CS5 but that of a module / dll that Bridge depends on. Unfortunately, due to the limited information I see in the error report, I am not able to go any further.
I am breaking my head over this from the past two weeks and been completely out of luck. Any help offered to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.
