Did updates, now XP Home just reboots after hits MUP.SYS, ..

Hi all,

The updater from Microsoft said that I should install 14
new updates. I went to Microsofts' website and started
the update process. After rebooting the only thing the
computer does now is reboot when it hits the MUP.SYS
file. What do I do to fix my computer again so it starts
properly?

thanks,
charles.......

Will not boot in Safe Mode, will not boot into any mode.

In-Place Upgrade (Reinstallation) of Windows XP usually
wipes out everything that has been add after installation.

This is true for so-called OEM versions. True Windows versions can be
reinstalled without any data loss. All updates will be lost in any
case, but you can re-install this data from the Windows Update
website.
