When I startup Windows XP, it takes an EXTREMELY long amount of time to
load. It loads up some programs - ICQ, AOL loader, Encarta QuickDefine, and
AIM, but before loading MSN Messenger, it freezes for about 1 minute. No
hard drive activity. You can click and run things on the dekstop, but the
systray is COMPLETELY FROZEN. So is the taskbar and start menu. After a
minute or so, hard disk activity goes back up, MSN messenger and company
loads, and the taskbar is operational again. But no, its not MSN Messenger!
I disabled it, I deleted the MSN messenger file (well, renamed it, anyhow)
and I have come to the conclusion that its some background task. I was
thinking it may be the Apache service, but this problem was occuring
earlier. I am also having shut-down problems, but it appears those are SB
Live related.

Apparently, AOL's 'WAN adapter' was causing the problem. Removing this
adapter fixed the problem.

Try going into the system settings to the hardware configuration area
there is a delay for the hardware configuration profile. I think it
defaults to 30 seconds, just change it to something more reasonable,
like 1 second if you have only one profile
