So far I've had to reinstall XP Pro when changing a motherboard, which loses all the registry settings. It won't just "repair" when requested. Has anyone found a way round this?

On boot-up with a new motherboard I obviously get the XP logo and then a BSD, and on observing the loaded files in safe mode the PC stops at one called "mup.sys" or something similar.

Have you seen this? Apparently this guy had the same problem and came up with a fix. (http://www.computing.net/answers/windows-xp/how-i-solved-mupsys-problem-xp-pro/97354.html)

A novel cure, many thanks for that! I've saved the page so I can add it to my huge list of documents on "what to do when M$ products go wrong". Advice direct from M$ doesn't always work.
