Working on a computer with XP Home Edition. Suspected virus activity. Loaded
AV & AS programs and ran scans. Deleted a lot of spyware, Trojans and virus'.
Rebooted and working fine. Did MS update for IE7 and about 7-8 other items.
After update, was asked to reboot. Now, box is locked in a boot loop.
I have tried going into Last Known Good, Safe Mode and Safe Mode with
Networking. Nothing will let me in, stuck in loop. I have booted from XP disk
and ran CHKDSK /r and repaired. STILL loops.
I ran it in Safe Mode with Command Prompt and it stops at the
Drivers\Mup.sys screen before rebooting. This tells me I have a bad driver
load during the MS update. HOW do I get rid of this loop, reset my driver
files or reset XP to original without losing the rest of the files, programs
and configuration?
TAOT.
