Firstly, it's not a good idea to crosspost (posting the same thing in more
than one newsgroup) unless you have a very good reason and some of the
servers in which you have posted to are unrelated to your problem. Secondly,
correct your date and time as it is set into the future, this will cause
your post to appear ontop of all of the others, annoy people and cause them
to block your posting, thus no one will want to help you. Now to the real
issue:

I had a similar problem when I installed my leadtek GF4 but was able to go
into safe mode. This was found in my archives, it is a post that may help
but I'm not sure who wrote it:

MUP.SYS is Microsoft's Multiple UNC Provider. This handles UNC requests, so
my guess is the problem is in a network driver, or the MUP.SYS message is
bogus.

"Try disabling every possible peripheral in your BIOS setup. This includes
ethernet, serial ports, printer port, USB, floppy, and anything else the is
not necessary during setup. If your hard drive and CD-ROM are both on the
primary IDE channel, disable the secondary channel as well. This will limit
any potential conflicts."

The guy seemed to think that it is a network driver issue.

Hope this helps

have you tried taking out any pci cards installed in your computer and see
if it boots normally then? (usb2 card for example?)

Okey fellas... it took me about 4 hours to figure out this freakin problem.. I know there are a lot of possibilities but a wise man is always open for suggestions and new ideas.... my friends computer was infected with a trojan and the stupid Symantec AV could only delete it if you are logged in as Administrator in Safe mode... well this is not letting me do that... As I was doing many different types of scans, adaware, symantec, spybot, etc... i noticed that it reboots when it starts to scan one of the harddrives (yes it has multiple HDD) but it only reboots when it reaches this particular HDD.. so I went in and took the SATA cable out of that HDD.. then there you go.. Im in the Safe Mode.

From checking all the forums on net... it seems to be that after the mup.sys file.. windows checks your hardware... for some people its the USB mouse, for some its the video card, and for me, its just the HDD.. i think when there is a failure in any of the device (probably major, such as driver conflicts, bad sectors, etc) then your windows will not start in safe mode.
