Ok I dont have a problem anymore as I have fixed this but I though I would share this infomation with people incase this ever happens to them.

My computer used to hang on start up at a file called MUP.SYS, I couldnt get into safe mode (all options) and I couldnt load my XP disc to restore the OS. Later I found out it was a USB 2.0 card gone bad, removed it and it booted up with terrible system performance (slow and hanging) I restored my OS and unconnected my falty DVD drive and now my computer works fine.

I used to get stop errors wile playing games (command and conquer 3 and battlefield 2142) I fixed this problem by updating my soundcard driver and codex. Also I typed DXDIAG into Start-Run and this diplayed my DirectX Diagnostic and I changed the audio acceleration in the sound tab to "basic acceleration" saved and rebooted. This fixed my stop errors problem.

I searched a full week for these answers and no forum I went to could tell me how to fix it untill my curiosity got the better of me. I am posting his here in the hope that someone with this issue will read this as these are anooying and painful errors that need to have some type of answer to.

I hope this is allowed here and I hope this will help people in the future.

Thanks,
Megatron21
