I just spent 2 hours working on a friends XP box, trying to fix the problem aforementioned.
Before I reveal the "fix" that I stumbled on to, I have to say that this forum thread
was completely useless except to let me know I wasn't the only one experiencing a
mup.sys lockup. Almost everyone here used a different technique to fix the problem,
which tells me that no one here really knows what went wrong. I find this frustrating.
The fix for my friend’s computer was to select “optimized default” in the BIOS root
menu (many of you may not even have this setting), then reboot, and then select “Fail
safe default” in the BIOS root menu. Don’t ask me why this worked, but it did.
My friend was happy, but I walked away without learning anything! I just have this
feeling that we’re missing something.
