I have windows XP. As and when I switch on my computer, it takes some time i.e. approximately 6-8 to start. What is the possible reason and how it can be fixed?

It depends on how many softwares are currently installed on your pc as well as the anti virus you are using , firstly try deinstalling the anti virus that will make sure if that was your trouble . Happened with me when i used to use NOD32 ? Also please put up your PC specs so that we can tell a better solution .
