i just resolved the win xp pro freeze in safe mode on mup.sys line.
***solution***
unplug every USB device. and reboot from a power down (cold reboot, unplug and replug
in and turn on).
I unplugged my wacom graphire 4" tablet pen input usb device. I read elsewhere (http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/winxp/t1047532372)
that USB devices can sometimes cause this.
***LESSON LEARNED!!***
figure out what changed in the system. eliminate that change.
ALWAYS THINK WHAT EXACTLY YOU DID THE LAST TIME BEFORE THE PC STOPPED WORKING. I
remembered plugging in the wacom tablet. Oddly, though, it didn't work and windows
didn't even respond. (the wacom was plugged in at the same time as a play station
X (1 or 2) usb controller game adapter was plugged in (both are "human interface
devices") I wonder if that was a factor.
**test my results***
#1 To test this, pluggin in only the wacom board, trying to rebot....it identified
the hardware this time....boots fine.
#2 plug in ps1/2 usb controler adaptor (for ddr game). let windows recognize it.
also plug in the two dance pads into the controller. (just in case that changes anything).
i plugged in the tablet into the same usb port as before.... FAILED to boot (hung
like normal in the mup.sys
... i could do more, but now i'm going to see if there are incompatibilities with
the drawing tablet (see note below) at XP.
(note: in every almost every reboot Tablet.exe had an application error when i was
shutting down).
(fyi: my system is a barebones wintergreen system with 2.0ghz celeron 256mb ram,
and a montherboard i don't remember--but it came from tiger direct for $30 after
rebate. i'm reusing an old 20gb hd by WD)
