I have had this problem at least 3 times in the last year and a half. I have fixed
this each time differently. The first time I tried the ACPI setting changed and that
worked for me. The next two times all of the normal work arounds did NOT work including
the ACPI setting change.
I got lucky though, I had just done a backup of my Registry in my "System Mechanic"
program. It makes a backup of a few different things. I just booted up with a WinME
bootdisk and went to the directry that System Mechanic had created for the backup.
There was a batch file that restored the backed up files. After I did this I rebooted
the computer in to WindowsXP and no problems. No more MUP.SYS problems.
So now every time I add some hardware or make a serious change to my system I do
a backup in System Mechanic. It helped me again just two weeks ago after I had the
system hang in a game. I just kept stopping at the MUPP.SYS during reboot (in Safe
Mode). The System Mechanic restore always works. Do not know exactly why, but I love
it.
