Windows latest update

[Guest]

I made the mistake of downloading the Windows GDI & detection tool on Windows
XP SP2, after I had upgraded Windows Media Player to Version 10. It required
rebooting, then the system would not come up except in "safe" mode. The
driver that was failing was mup.sys. I couldn't remove the update, so I had
to rollback the system by 2 weeks for it to boot normally. Windows Media
Player 9 seems to have no problem with it. This is troublesome because now I
have to redo all the settings I had for the internet. (changed isp's during
this time).
2 Questions -
Can the GDI update be removed manually so that I can restore the system back
to the date I downloaded the nasty file?
What is in the difference within the Media player that the driver would
interact fatally with the update?

Hi!

Have now been facing the same type problem. So far not resolving it, but
will
go on checking ...

The problem is not on mup.sys itself, but on some driver loaded in a second
or two after that ... Hard to say how to find/recognize the real problem
point,
maybe backing with the SP2 update, or detaching some components and
rebooting, or checking possible Stop Error details, or doing some other
troubleshooting etc.,
and as a last hope action try to Repair install the Windows with a full
licence Retail CD.


Best regards,
