Hey all,
I just had the same problem, a hang at mup.sys. I think the culprit was a new java
version I downloaded. I had to reboot after the installation and bam, the mup.sys
hang happened. I found out later I didn't really need the newer version. Anywho,
I first tried getting rid of the mup.sys then reboot. That didn't work. I tried
a restore in safe mode which didn't work. I then went to my other computer and copied
the mup.sys from there and pasted it into the bad computers system32\driver file,
choosing yes for overwrite. At the same time I did another restore. That worked!
So, either the copy, paste method worked or the second restore worked. I am betting
on the copy, paste method. So, if you can get into safe mode, get a copy of a good
mup.sys and paste that whore.
