I recently had the experience of Win XP hanging during load, with nil on screen,
and eventually figured out it was stalling at mup.sys.
Tried rebuilding the PC but the Win XP install wouldn't run. Then booted from floppy
& re-formatted HDD, still no joy.
It was then that I realised that earlier that day I had gone into the ROM BIOS and
enabled the Bios antivirus facility. So I disabled it again.
Having now rebuilt my PC without incident, I tested this again by re-enabling the
BIOS antivirus, and sure enough the PC wouldn't boot.
This may not solve anyone else's problem with mup.sys, but thought I'd share it just
in case.
