Slow startup

Question

Hi, I got myself a new pc and everything works fine except for the time it needs to startup. The windows xp logo with that animated progress bar stays there for 1 minute before the welcome screen appears. Right after installing xp from scratch - new harddisk - it was already that slow. Apart from that, the system works fine without any problem. System: Mainboard: MSI KT6 Delta Cpu: AMD Athlon 2600/333 Memory: Apacer DDR 512 PC3200 Vga: Aopen FX5200 128Mb HD: 80Gb Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 - 8Mb Windows XP + sp1 Any ideas are very welcome. Thanks in advance! -- Ni??
