has now been disabled but how do i fix problem to re-
enable the file so i can startup in normal mode rather
than selective. what effect does disabling this file have.
I'm running XP Home and scanned the Windows directory for
wump.* and found nothing. Also checked Task Manager with
same result. I'm assuming this is aftermarket software
(or it's something in XP Pro). If it's aftermarket
software perhaps they could help.
Do you updated and run your anti-virus program weekly?
Search for Ad Aware and SpyBot on Google. Both freeware.
Update and run daily.
Wump.exe is going to be in C:\windows\system32. I had the same problem
you did and haven't entirely rectified it, but you can kill wump.exe
from the above folder and you should be ok. Additionally, check on
the add/remove programs folder for media player. About the same time
I started having the shutdown problem I noticed that the media player
icon showed up on the quick launch pad (next to the start button) when
it hadn't been there before. I checked add/remove programs and listed
next to the media player icon was the name viewpoint media player
instead of windows media player. Don't know if it was related to the
wump bug, but I started getting media player problems, dsl problems,
and shutdown problems all at the same time. I got rid of wump and now
the system is operating normally.
