Question about 'Things that slow down system bootup'

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

Whenever I restart my computer, it plays the little intro music and stops! All I have on the screen is my cursor and Windows will not load within a two minute period unless I hit Enter. I ran msconfig and unchecked every unwanted box, but this did nothing but cause a message to pop up saying I am running the computer at the wrong settings. Windows works fine except for the startup time. After a few trys I returned to this website and downloaded Visboot from Microsoft.com. After restarting and running the program, I noticed no difference. I am running a 850mHz Athlon, with 192 RAM on Windows XP. I have the same specs on a different computer and that one runs fine. I was wondering if their is a way to remove the items from the startup option when running mscofig? I tried putting the default startup settings on msconfig and that checked all the boxes on the starup. I dont know if this matters but I have this computer networked with one other and I have DSL internet (which doesnt start until I go to browse the web).
