Question about 'Things that slow down system bootup'

I have a question about Things that slow down system bootup:

Each time I boot-up my PC hangs at startup! I am running WinXP Pro on a NTFS partition. I have 256Mb RAM (PC133) DIMMS. When I first loaded up windows, it would start really quickly, but now seems to hang at startup, for about 5mins! I have plenty of disk space free for swapfile too ..!! I recently loaded Zone Alarm onto my PC, but have disabled "Load at Startup" It says it is XP ready and does not use a lot of the system resources at start-up! How do I improve my boot-up, so it loads faster? Please advise! ... Thanks :o)
