I don't know if anyone of you had just installed Daemon Tools but that is what I
had installed and then I ran into this lovely mup.sys lockup. When I would run XP
in safemode I saw that after mup.sys loaded I was given the option of letting d344bus.sys
install or escaping past it. The only way I could get into safe mode was to use
the escape key to bypass that install, and then I could get in. So I went into the
recovery console and disabled d344bus.sys and I was once again able to run Windows
normally. Well, almost normally because now I have no USB support at all. Doesn't
detect any of my devices, so I need to figure out how to reinstall those. But I
was able to get past mup.sys!!!! So, if any of you have recently installed daemon
tools this might be your problem. (this is Daemon Tools 3.44)
