Slow Windows XP Pro Login

Yesturday, when I was booting up my computer in the morning and I got to the login screen and I typed my password as usual, but the problem is when It actually logs in.
After I enter the password it will take about 30 seconds to get from that screen to my desktop, from there it will take about 2 to 2 1/2 minutes to load my taskbar and icons, usually it will take roughly 5-10 seconds.

I have no idea why, I searched google and only found fixes for Windows Server logins. The only thing I could possibly think of what caused it is when I was using one of this websites guides to security.

I might of changed a setting I shouldnt have, but I dont know which one.

I also tried getting rid of stuff with CCleaner, I defraged and did about 5 different Spyware scans.

Thank you for any help.

 

did you install anything from that site, if so did it install in startup folder.
got to start>run>type"msconfig"(without quotes)>select startup tab and see what programs are set to run at startup

 

No, I didn't install anything and theres nothing on startup that isnt unusual.

 

Have you rebooted with the same issues?

If, so, I'd probably reverse everything from page 2 through page 4, since the rest looks like basic tweaks.

 

I tried that Speed up menu thing, didnt work.

And yes, it does the same thing on restart and I tried to revert the settings but it still happens.

I Did though find this error in the even viewer when I started, anyone know what it is?
