Mr. Mustang

It seems like it takes forever for windows to load up. It is XP Home OEM
with SP2. My drives are almost empty, I have not installed musch on them at
all.

Whats the deal?

Give us more info, HOw much Ram you have, what Kind of Processor, What
programs you have installed, What startup programs are installed
 
Athlon 64 3500+
MSI Neo2 Platnium
1 Gig OZC Extream RAM duel channel (512x2\

This is what happens.

I get to my desktop screen like XP has started, but there is a 2-3 minute
lag before I can open any programs. It is almost like something is haning
up in the background but I have no idea what. Is there a source on the
internet to find optimum settings for what application you are using for XP?
I am familar with www.blackviper.com but his site is down.
