Thank you to you and everyone that posted in this thread. I understand that no one
will see this post but I still wanted to thank all of you. Your thread has helped
me restore my system to working order once again without a reinstall. The disabling
of mup.sys, in my case, worked like a charm. Thank you all once again.
