Don't know you're motherboard, if it has on board AGP you could check the BIOS and see if it's testing for both PCI and on board AGP. Does XP scandisk & scanreg on startup automatically like 98 did?

When i had 98 under startup it had Ereg on my xp under startup it says emtpy altho i have the Ereg.DLL
I should switch to XP. This sites freeware registry guides might help with some start up tweaks http://www.winguides.com/registry/

Had a similar problem about three months ago. Turned out my Gamesurround MuseXL sound card had drivers that didn't play nice with XP. Switched to a sound blaster card and now it boots up normally.
Don't know if you can still get it, but microsoft used to have a free program called "boot-vis" (that helps diagnose windows startup problems) on their website.
