startup delay!

hey guys, this is my first post here, and i have a problem ...

im running winxp sp2, and offlate, i've been noticing that after i log on to windows, the system just stops running for like a minute. during this time i can see my wallpaper, the icons and the taskbar, but i cant click on start button and none of the programs are loaded; the mouse shows busy when i move over the taskbar.

finally after a long wait i hear my hdd whirring, and the system loads up, but half the things which were suppsed to, dont [power meter, volume control, graphic card manager etc] even if i try to open them manually.

would anyone know whts causing this? thanks in advance ...

btw, i have norton AV2004 and zonealarm integrity desktop, both of which load up for sure ... and my laptop is spyware-free ...

and i just noticed, if i log off and log back on, evrything loads up normally ... ????
