Howdy:
The mup.sys error is one of the more insidious error messages you can get. If you do a search, you will find the only real fix is a complete re-install of XP. Do NOT use the Quick Format option.
If it errors again, clean your cd drive and disk. Another error and I would hazard your cd is corupted.

Okay, did reinstall WinXP, restarted, running in Safe Mode and got past Mup.sys error but now I'm being asked for the Administrator Password when I haven't gotten to enter one yet. Tried entering thru leaving the field blank and a few other passwords like "manager" & "administrator" , etc., but XP will not let me pass. Please continue to advise me and know in advance that your expert assistance is greatly appreciated. Keep up the great work, men and women of Geekland! You are helping make the dangerous cyberworld a bit more habitable for the rest of us. Thank you.

Just make sure, you perform clean install: http://www.michaelst...nxpinstall.html, including removing old partition, creating new one, formatting, etc.
