Have you tried defraging your hard drive? I had the same problem a while back, and that seemed to clear it up

If you have alot of programs starting up at the beg then they will slow the start up down...if you want to look this up and organise the start up programs I recommend giving this a try : Advance Uninstaler Pro.
By the way I noticed that the Norton 2004 package also slows the start up time down by a large amount.
