Slow startup

[Carl]

When I turn on the PC it boots up normally to show the
desktop. But, before the startup background programs are
loaded, the system is idle for 2-3 min. I tried runing
msconfig and turning off most of the Startup programs,
but that didn't solve the problem. I would appreciate
anyone's help.

>Having some problems. Have a fairly new computer running
Windows XP. Everything has been working fine, but now all
of a sudden when we turn on the machine, and click on one
of the user settings, it takes like five minutes to set
up. Once there, everything seems to be running normally,
shut down is also normal. Any ideas would be
appreciated. I have cleaned up the system thinking there
wasn't enough space, but that doesn't seem to be it.
