Default Desktop does not appear for at least 5 minutes

Well, I don't even know where to start but here I go.
Last Wednesday my system started taking forever to load
the desktop. Basically, after selecting cancel on the
logon popup screen, my system hesitates for about 5
minutes then loads the desktop. During this hang up I
press ctrl+alt+del and see only three items that have
loaded which are Explorer, Avgserv9 and hidserv. Then
when the desktop load I review the list again and two more
items appear acrotray and avgcc32. I have tried to run Ad-
aware, spybot and AVG to ensure that I do not have any
unexpected items on my system. Also, while I was in
internet explorer I received a message that states "This
program has performed an illegal operation and will be
shut down" and then my desktop disappeared again. I tried
to repair Internet Explorer through the system.ini file
and ran a Repair through the add/remove programs menu.
This did not help. Any suggestions as to what this could
be? Oh and the day before this started happening I loaded
Ulead software for my new pencam, I tried unistalling the
software, as well as, a system restore hoping this would
fix the problem and this did not work.

Thank you in advance for your help.

A possible first step is to clean up your Startup Group...

First pick one of these to identify what loads at boot. Next, see
whether there is an option in it's menus to disable it from starting up.
If you really want to rid yourself of it on a more permanent basis, then
look for it in "Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs". However, it isn't
often easy to know what is what in there. One of these URL's may say.
Only last, go to StartUpCop.

Thank you. I performed a cleaning of my startup group,
this is the first thing I did. Unfortunately, it did not
help. I did not try to rid any of these items through
add/remove programs. I will post my hijack this file and
maybe someone can make heads/tails out of it.

Thanks again,

Renee

You are welcome. That is a good thought. If unsuccessful, get back to
