Sarpedon Posted August 14, 2002 Posted August 14, 2002 OK, i just installed windows XP professional on my mom's new system (athlon xp 1900 with 512 meg DDRram). i got into it fine, installed software for her all-in-wonder 7500, and that worked fine, (i downloaded all of the newest drivers and software from ATI.com). when i went to reboot, it wouldnt reboot properly. it would just freeze with a blue screen (not BSOD, just completely blue). so i tried safe mode, and since it lists all files that are loaded, it kept stalling on "mup.sys" luckily, i kept 3 gigs of unpartitioned space, so i installed a secondary installation of XP, went into the system32\drivers directory (on the primary) and replaced the mup.sys. that didnt work. so i deleted (or should i say renamed it to mup.sys.old) it and tried a boot. it just stalled on a different file. i tried this 3 times (the files were ndis.sys, ntfs.sys, and VIAAGP1.SYS.) and decided that i was getting nowhere. i tried just replacing the old directory (on primary) with the secondary (copied the drivers folder to c from f). this passed the listing of files on a safe mode boot, but gave me a BSOD after the screen cleared. has anyone ever had problems with a similar problem or have any advice? i could just reformat, but i really want to solve the problem, and not just push it out of the way. thanks a lot.

DevilMB3017 Posted August 14, 2002 Posted August 14, 2002 Try these drivers. They should work better. If they are the drivers you had...I would just try and reformat. Or, run the System Recovery to when everything was working... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
