Any tweaks for faster performance?

[James D]

I am running Windows XP Home SP1 on a P4 2 GHz with 512 MB of DDR RAM
running in Dual Channel Mode.

Just recently, I don't know what happened, but when booting up the computer
it takes between 50 and 60 SECONDS before it gets past the blue Windows
welcome screen.

I have disabled all items in MSconfig rebooted and it still takes this
painfully long time. Can anyone offer a helpful suggestion that may speed
the process up? Thanks.
