I hope my over 8 hours on this here is and sharing my SIMPLE solution saves someone
major time and stress.
PROBLEM:
After moving my motherboard and modem card to my new computer case, Windows failed
at startup at MUP.SYS.
This problem can also be caused by moving the computer and a component (internal
card, jumper, memory etc) moving out of place.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
1 - The fact that MUP.SYS is the last line displayed means that the problem occurs
AFTER MUP.SYS.
2 - My problem was in fact BIOS related!
3 - By removing my card (in this case the US Robotics Modem card) and reseating it
into the slot, my BIOS got reset and the Onboard Modem setting was set to internal!
SOLUTION:
1 - At startup I entered my BIOS area.
2 - Selected 'Load Optimal Settings' (your BIOS may say something like 'Load Default
Settings'. I also selected 'Load Best Performance Settings'.
3 - Went into the 'Features Setup' option and Disabled the Onboard Modem as I am
using my US Robotics card.
