Hi all,

My machine started rebooting when ever it hits the mup.sys
file no matter what option I choose in the boot menu, normal
safe, safe with networking, or safe with command prompt.
XP Pro.
Any ideas?

thanks,
charles......

If you have a boot disk, you can try starting System Restore from
here:

"How to Use System Files to Create a Boot Disk to Guard Against Being
Unable to Start Windows XP"

Else, reinstall Windows as described here: "How to Perform an In-Place
