Windows XP slow start up

[Brian Williamson]

When I boot up the curser is active for my desktop but I
can't access the start menu for 2 to 3 minutes from boot.
After this time I have normal access.
PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP?

It's driving me mad.

Hi Brian,

Start/run msconfig, go to the services tab and disable Windows Image
Acquisition. Click apply/ok and reboot. See if this helps.
