Xp SP3 safe mode boot
Machine is taking an age to boot into safe. It hangs after loading btkrnl.sys
This is the relevant section of the bootlog for a 'normal' bootup
Mup.sys
Loaded driver btkrnl.sys
Loaded driver \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\tunmp.sys
Loaded driver \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\AmdPPM.sys
Loaded driver \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\usbohci.sys
Do I assume it is tunmp.sys that is causing the hang? I was able to shave this am while it dragged over this point. I have scanned tunmp.sys with MBAM as I see it can be corrupted by a nasty, but is is clean. I cannot see an obvious service connected with tunnnelling. Any ideas on what I can 'kill' as an experiment?
