To resolve this problem, follow these steps:
| 1. | Restart your computer in Safe mode. |
| 2. | Use System File Checker with the /scannow parameter to immediately scan and verify the versions of all the
system files that Windows File Protection helps protect. You must be logged on
as an administrator or as a member of the Administrators group to run System
File Checker. You can run the sfc /scannow command to use System File Checker. |
| 3. | If you get information about the corrupted Mup.sys file, expand the Mup.sys file from the Windows XP CD to the
C:\Windows\System32\Drivers folder. For example, if the CD drive is D, type the following at a command prompt: expand d:\i386\mup.sy_ c:\windows\system32\drivers |
| 4. | Expand the Mup.sys file from the Windows XP CD to the
C:\Windows\System32\Dllcache folder. For example, if the CD drive is D, type the following at a command prompt: expand d:\i386\mup.sy_ c:\windows\system32\dllcache
Note You can also use Expand File in the System Configuration Utility (MSCONFIG).
