Desktop loads slowly or not at all?

Question

Using Windows XP.

When I turn on the computer and get to the blue screen where you select which user to use, if I select one too quickly, the background will come up, but the icons and start bar will come up extremely slowly, or not at all. Lately, it's been doing the same thing even if I wait a minute after the blue screen comes up. 

I already ran my anti-virus software, and that is not the problem. Any suggestions?

Have you checked for malware, virus, unneeded techniques jogging within the history on startup comparable to on the spot messaging techniques, MS OFFICE, and many others?
