Hi, I posted a hijack log of my computer not too long ago, maybe just a month, but I've come across a problem that has been going on for a couple weeks now. I get a -very- slow start up. I'm not sure if it's called slow bootup, but it's the screen after you sign in on windows login. (I have mine on auto login) but after the windows xp blue screen that says "Loading up personal settings, etc" it would show my desktop wall paper and nothing else, and after a few minutes.. THEN it loads up everything else (taskbar, desktop icons, and startup programs) It's a very annoying delay, I've ran everything in the malware removal guide except the anti virus listed (because I have eset nod32), so heres a hijack log:

New hijack log, new problem :(
A little bit more info. I tried bootvis and defragging. No changes.
My computer would load up all the way til it shows my desktop wallpaper ONLY. I timed it once, it takes just about a full minute before it begins loading everything else (taskbar, desktop icons, startup programs, etc). A minute may not seem long at all, but when you're turning on your computer or simply restarting your computer and having an unusual part of the booting just hang there for a minute which seems more like 5 minutes, it's frustrating.
A minute may not seem like a big deal, but the thing is it's not normal, it's not supposed to be like this. I'm not computer expert, but I've used this same computer long enough to know that this 1-minute hang time isn't supposed to happen. Any help please?
