Baffled - so much information

I ran RootAlyzer because each time I boot my Windows Vista machine, Spybot catches these two attempts to modify the registry:

Category: session manager
value deleted
BootExecute

Catergory: session manager
value deleted
ExcludeFromKnownDIIs

I've accepted those changes twice and found that the next time I boot, my system fails completely - not even reading the boot record. I've successfully repaired the system from the original disk each time, but these changes are attempted at every boot.

So, I thought RootAlyzer might help find the problem. The first time I ran a deep scan, I got a tremendous amount of information and do not know where to begin to interpret it.

This leads to two questions:
1. Does anyone know what is happening when I try to boot and how do I fix it?
2. Can anyone help me interpret the following RootAlyzer log?

Thanks for any and all help!

Could you please do another scan with version 0.2? I made it available at the link in the version announcement thread. Among the things 0.2 improves are a lot of Vista special cases, which your list mostly seems to consist of.

I reran with the suggested version and found a much more manageble results list. I am, however, at somewhat of a loss at what to do with it and if it indicates my orginal problem.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!
