Music Delay

When I start up/restart XP Home, everything loads great.
It is relativly fast. The problem comes at the second the
desktop becomes available. I can clock it to about 2
minutes. After 2 minutes passes, the Windows Startup
Music plays. During that 2 min. time, I can open some
programs and in some cases work on a file. There are some
programs that will not work. They'll start up but I can't
do anything in them (i.e.: Internet Explorer, Norton, any
system function like Windows Task Manager). I disabled
all of my startup stuff with a Startup Manager utility.
There is no change. It still takes 2 minutes to play the
tune. Help, please!

Side note, I show 71 Microsoft Services either stopped or
running in MSCONFIG. 8 of them are not related to
Microsoft.

HELP! -tom
 
Sounds like you better update your virus scanner and run a adware , spyware
, program.
In reality you probably shouldn't have more then about a dozen programs
listed there, and about 2-3 with check marks there.
