ok here is something strange. about 2 days ago, my roomate's computer stops working
for no reason, and after some fiddling around we figure out that it is the dreaded
mup.sys problem. our computers are networked. just today, i am in the middle of
running windows and for no reason it just locks up. sure enough i reboot and it
just keeps rebooting itself....now my computer has the mup.sys problem!
what are the chances that both of our computers, each with very different specs and
hardware, would get this problem within 2 days of each other after never having had
a problem for 12+ months? neither of us recently added any hardware or software,
except for partypoker.com, but i hardly think that would have anything to do with
it.
also, i have 2 partitions on one hd on my comp, each partition has xp pro. the first
partition has the mup problem, the second partition works just fine.
what the hell is with this problem? after reading all the posts, it appears everyone
has a different solution.... pretty crazy.
