"Windows halt after loading during boot-up

*I know exactly how mad and frustrated you are now. Be calm and try not to throw your PC out of the window.
This problem took me two days to figure out. My Windows XP got stuck during the startup. Booting in safe mode clearly showed that the computer stopped responding after loading
I tried almost everything including numerous re-installs and even wiped out my RAID array, but still got no good news. Many helpful forums and sites suggested different problem sources: enabling APIC, NT File System, updating BIOS, etc. After countless hours of trial and error, I finally found the problem source: the USB 2.0 card. Taking the card out resolved my problem.
If you encountered a similar problem, try to take out your PCI cards one-by-one. You might be able to boot-up again. Good luck! "
"MUP stands for "Multiple UNC Provider" which assists Windows in locating resources
>when more than one redirector is on a machine such as "Microsoft Client for Microsoft
>Networks" and the "Novell Client for Novell Netware". When a connection to a server
>is requested it does not know if the request is to a Novell server or an NT server.
>It will start looking for the server with the primary protocol on the primary requestor

:shock:
: :?: :?: "I know I'm late but you're all wrong.
This is how you fix the VERY common problem.
Boot off the windows cd, load the recovery console.
Type "disable mup"
Hit Enter
All done, windows works. is the service to connect to Novell servers. % of people won't need this.
Maybe an admin should sticky this. Almost every Win NT/2K/XP/2003 user will encounter this at some time or another."
Hope some of these help
