I have noticed for a while now on my desktop PC that I built that When the Boot loader gets to the Windows boot screen with the indicating bar moving across the screen it will start to slow down tremendously and then speed up again then go to the desktop and it loads fine but that is bothering me and I can not figure out what it is?? I have a 350 watt PS, a MSI MB 845 chipset, a P4 2.2ghz processor, two memory sticks total 1 gig of ram they are corsair and ultra, two HDD's maxtor 80gig and a 80 western digital as slave, one chassis fan and one bay fan. I have tried several ways to figure out why it is so slow upon boot? any ideas would help.

I have Win xp with sP2, I did run safe mode and it seemed to get stuck on the agp.sys driver maybe that is it?
