Question : XP - Mup.sys

Hi,

XP does not  finish booting on a notebook. There was no hardware or software change, it just stopped working and I have no idea why. When started in SAFE mode the last driver is displayed is "Mup.sys".

My guess is that it is  a hardware problem, but have  no idea which part could have gone wrong. Can it it be told from "Mup.sys" being the last driver displayed what can be wrong?

Regards, Laci

Answer : XP - Mup.sys

Have you tried to update the BIOS yet?  

If not see if there is an update.  

Once it's flashed (or detemined to be up to date) - load the defaults into BIOS.

NOTE: make sure the notebook is plugged into AC power before trying to flash it.

Remove any external input devices (keyboard, mouse, port replicator, etc) and try again.

Let us know.
