XP slow to start up

[bili]

Hello everyone,

Okay, for starters PLEASE don't post the generic spyware/adware links,
they're useless to me. Also, I am virus/trojan/any-other-ilk free. Now:

When I start/restart my PC, after XP (pro SP2 _All Patches and updates) it
loads fine, through the standard xp screen and the welcome. After that, my
desktop pic shows, but it takes about 30 seconds for my actualy explorer to
load. In this time, my PC seems to be doing nothing, no HDD activity, no
removable storage searching, just sitting there. It's not that big of a
deal, but it didn't always do this. It's no dumping physical memory either.
Anyone that solves this for me would be greatly appreciated.

If you install SP2 beta, then you should repost your question in
one of the SP2 beta newsgroups:

SP2 RC1 is a "BETA PRODUCT" and as such may cause
some issues.

Thank you for your answer and your time, but it's not the reason. i
installed the sp2 bata and i installed the SP2 rc1 and it's worked fine in
both versions BUT now (something like month or two from installing the sp2)
because some reason i get this delay like i wort befor.
