Slow start - up

[Ed O'Meara]

When I boot up it loads quickly, until it hits
explorer.exe and then it lsows down and just takes about
two minutes for it to finish loading. Then the procedure
quickly finishes. I know it is hanging up (but not
comletely) as I opened Task Manager and watched the
processes as they load.
I recently reinstalled XP after a similar probelm - it
has been two weeks, and has started to act up again.

I tried most of what you suggested, but did not disable

start-up items as I was not sure which was which.

Unusal thing happening is that the Task Manager device
seems to show task multiplying. Everytime I use my
computer the number increases. There were 27 to begin
with and now there are 36. 5 are SVCHOST.exe and 2 are
USRMLNKA.exe.
