Hardware Compatibility List - that's the answer to a lot of these Mup.SYS issues.
I found that my Motherboard is not on the HCL. The reason is that it's got some
chipsets that conflict with XP architecture. In my case, there's an onboard VIA
AGP controller that refuses to allow my Radeon's onboard AGP controller to take control.
The AGP controller, as well as the USB 2.0 controller on my motherboard require special
software (VIA All-in-One and Southbridge USB2). As long as I NEVER install those
drivers, XP doesn't mind my Non-HCL chips (because it doesn't try to use them).
However, once installed, they seem to be completely unremovable. WinXP ALWAYS tries
to reload them, no matter how brutally or gracefully I remove them, and any references
to them.
There is no software solution to this hardware problem. If your hardware ain't on
the HCL - undesirable results are to be expected.
