Hi,
Mainly not starting in safe mode is resulted of either corrupted windows (you will need to reinstall or repair windows), or virus attack were some viruses will prevent you from going into safe mode.

It is never about the number of languages you know, you either have the logic of programming or you don't ...
Some of the codes I post are collected from different sites during the past couple of years, so I would like to thank them for their help and for enabling me to help.

mup.sys is the last file Windows shows on screen when booting into safe mode. So it doesnt nececerially mean its whats causing the hang.
Generally a hang in safe mode like that is caused by an invalid HAL. Have you recently changed your hardware or something?
Alternatively it can be caused by bad hardware e.g failing HDD.
