"windows is starting" hangs ...

Ok i have windows xp home edition service pack 1 with all the updates, i
can't install sp2 because my hardware (even with bios update) will not accept
it and i had to reinstall windows after not being able to boot from
installing sp2...but that is another story. After doing some recent updates
my computer now hangs for about a minute before entering windows, it hangs
after it reaches the blue screen that says "windows is starting" than finally
you see "welcome" and it loads. I'd like to think of myself as a power and
advanced user so i did the basics, checked the startup, disabled services,
ran norton, used microsoft antispyware did a registry check, used tuneXP to
defrag the boot.ini and used bootvis. The comp sure as hell restarts fast but
bootvis says that "logon + service" takes 168.7 seconds that is just not
good. What the hell is taking so long to load? Any help would be great.
Thanks.

P.S. I am not sure its programs that i have running at startup because they
all seem to load when windows actually reaches the desktop and i don't have
alot loading anyway.
