Since the weekend my home PC has developed a delay of about 20-30 seconds between the Windows loading screen and the windows login page.

I used my printers onboard card reader to read an SD card and it locked up. Ever since then I have had this problem. I've tried turning off loading the printer via msconfig and tried restoring to a previous save point but it will not stop with the delay.

Any ideas?
 
Hmm, sounds like when it locked up it might've corrupted some of the system files. Best bet would be to boot off the Windows CD and run chkdsk/r command - this should repair any problems you are having. If not, try a repair installation.
