Default XP Slow Startup Problem

Yesterday when I loaded my PC at startup it took like 5 minutes to load at the welcome screen, then another 5 minutes to load the taskbar and start icon and menu. Only my wallpaper shows at the second phase. Could this be a virus? I ran 2 virus scans ...

Default XP Slow Startup Problem

Yesterday when I loaded my PC at startup it took like 5 minutes to load at the welcome screen, then another 5 minutes to load the taskbar and start icon and menu. Only my wallpaper shows at the second phase. Could this be a virus? I ran 2 virus scans today and nothing showed up... I cleared up some stuff that I dont need in the add/remove programs and I ran ccleaner.... and I did the diskdefrag thing.. Any ideas? It was never like this before yesterday...
K Thanks in advance ^__^
I hope I posted this in the right fourm...
