my computer starts nomally, but won't start in safe mode. I've done clean
installs tring to figure out what is causing this but no luck. If more
information is needed, I'll gladly provide it.
 
Hi Peter,
I too have the same problem but I have had no reply to my post.....
I haven't installed the SP2 update yet, that shouldn't make any difference
as it always worked before.
Perhaps someone out there has the answer.

I don't know what my problem is, since the last time I booted into safe mode
I haven't changed anything or downloaded any updates apart from Norton A/V
definitions.

I too have the same problem. I can boot normally but not in safe mode. I
get to the log in with the "safe mode" in the corners and then BAM reboot.
Any answers yet?
 
Hey guys,

I think that this is a hardware problem or hardware driver problem. Maybe
we need to share our hardware profiles and see if there's something we all
have in common. Just a shot in the dark. What do you guys think? And if we
do share these profiles how do we agree to do that?.

Hope you don't mind that I deleted all that 'he said, she said' stuff. I
think we know what we're talking about here.
 
Have you guys found a solution to this. Sounds like I have exactly the same
problem and I also think it's hardware related.

Safe mode starts to load, runs a list of drivers down the screen, then just
stops and freezes (at one called mup.sys, although I have a hunch the problem
is caused by the driver immediatley following this one) and then restarts the
computer.

I have been through a long toruous process of buying a new harddrive and
reinstalling windows because this problem got worse (although that was
probably my fault) and having reinstalled all of my software from scratch...
it's there again!!!

There must be something different about the way that Safe mode uses the
drivers than a normal boot, which is causing this!

Any help gratefully received...
 
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 some 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,

Pete V.
