After I installed WindowsBlinds computer will not boot

Tuesday, June 3, 2003 by ch4nnel | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I just recently found WindowsBlinds. I was thrilled about getting a different theme for my os. But when I restarted my computer it just does not boot up any more. I then tried to start it in safe mode and it stops at the file "Mup.sys" found in WINDOWS\System32\Drivers\mup.sys I tried to boot from a floppy that I made on another computer also running xp. I do not know how to boot from my os CD. Please help me someone. I realy need my computer(finals week).

In the Bios is an option to boot from CD first, that always works (for Future Ref)

or insert a boot floppy, if that dasn't work, press f8 on startup, en then: (lets have D: as disk drive)

c:/ d:/
d:/cd setup
d/setup/setup

should work, else replace setup with autorun...
