Startup Hang

My PC hangs right before I try to connect with my DSL after booting Windows. If I wait about 2 minutes after booting it doesn't hang. What's causing this to happen?

Both my PCs do it. I'm running Windows XP Home Edition.

After you bootup, if you'll listen real close you'll probably hear your hard drive loading stuff for quite some time. Just got to let it finish..

This happens to me a lot. It takes forever to start up. I re-installed windows and it booted a LOT quicker. I think this is the best bet for you to get a faster boot time.

dont reinstall windows just edit msconfig by clicking start run and typing msconfig.
click the startup tab and uncheck all the programs u dont want to load at startup.
this will speed up the startup a lot!
