vin3e Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Hey guys, apparently my MUP.sys got corrupted due to a recent virus. Is there any other way to obtain this file without having the XP Pro CD? Which i dont btw.I need to run in safemode to do a defrag bt atm that is not possible, because the loading drivers screens stops when trying to load MUP.sys.Thanks ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeus_Hunt Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Disconnect power to the systemTry removing all the components and put them back in again.Press and hold power button on the system for 5 seconds without the power cable connected.Turn ON the system and check.Boot into safe mode with command prompt. Get a copy of mup.sys off of another XP machine. Put it onto a floppy and copy into c:\windows\system32\driversI think mup.sys is getting a bad rap in all of this. I had the problem, where booting in safe mode, the computer would hang, and the last line listed was the mup.sys line. My problem was actually solved by moving a ram chip from one slot to the next adjacent slot. The computer will hang if it gets a bad read from a ram chip, and in this instance, it was hanging coincidentally when the mup.sys line was displayed.A couple of things mentioned here.
