Your computer should reboot normally if you installed
a legitimate copy of Photoshop.

Try using Last Known Good Configuration. Start the computer and repeatedly
press the F8 key till you see the Advanced Boot Menu. Select Last Known Good
Configuration and press Enter.

If that doesn't work then try running System Restore. Boot to the Advanced
Boot Menu. Select the option for "Safe Mode with command prompt". At the
command prompt type the following and press Enter.
C:\Windows\System32\restore\rstrui.exe

This will start the System Restore gui where you can go back a day.
