Windows is picky because it is virtually plug-n-play. Instead of assigning interrupt
requests manually like the good old days, XP is supposed to be extremely user friendly-to
a fault. Unfortunately, hardware conflicts arise and XP will not boot. USB is notorious
for being IRQ hogs. Mup.sys seems to be a precursor to the loading of the HAL, which
is a mystery to me. I've had this problem simply from disconnecting a hard drive
to move it to another IDE slot. I am lazy and I've skimmed over this article, but
I fixed my system before I finished it. To avoid paraphrasing more qualified data,
see:

Please feel free to correct me, I'm not in the IT field, so some layman explanation
to this phenomenon would be helpful.
