Inconsistent startup behavior

[Guest]

Can someone please explain why sometimes after logging in, my SQL Server icon
shows a stopped status (red) for several seconds before it starts running
(green)? More importantly, why does my Norton Antivirus AutoProtect icon
have an "X" through it (disabled) for an extended time before it starts
running? Other times, there is no "hiccup" during startup. How do I correct
this?

You have to wait for the appropriate services to start running.
