Load times

[Sudden]

Ok, this is the problem. As soon as windows loads, it takes some time to start up some processes. my ADSL for one. Even My computer doesn't load up instantly, or mspaint!
games, ms word etc on the other hand run fine. But these processes take about 30 seconds to a minute to load up. It's just something veery very annoying.

I'm running Windows XP Pro, SP2.

From what I can make out, alg.exe is one of the processes that starts up later on, but i'm not sure if that's the one at fault for thigns like my computer and mspaint.

Anyone?

I haven't d/l Bootvis yet, but from what I can make out it improves overall system boot times. My system, mostly it's fine, just these few things that are suddenly taking time. Everything was fine earlier, this has just popped up recently, POSSIBLY after a beta BIOS update, but i'm not sure about that.

System spec is -

Corsair 2gb 6400C4
x6800 (stock)
2 x EVGA 7950GX2
XP Pro SP2 (all updates installed)
Tagan 900W PSU

old software etc etc shouldn't raelly be an issue though. build is hardly a week or two old! not enough time to collect useless junk.
