Hey there,
Thought I solved the problem, because i could do a full recovery with the original
Sony Recovery CD's. Recovering works fine, but after a reboot....... Yes you guessed
right.... again the mup.sys hangup. All other solutions don't help, not even automatic
repair/recovery.... I'm running in circles now.
I figured out this is a BIOS/ACPI problem. Since this is a Sony Vaio PC, no possibility
to update the BIOS (it's simply not available).
Also no possibility to change ACPI values (blocked out by Sony).
I'm desperate right now....
Help!!!
Cheers,
Paul
