Slow Windows XP startup

Whenever i turn on my computer now it goes to a black screen for about a minute before it goes to the Welcome screen. It usually starts windows in about 30 seconds total but now it is taking around 1-2 minutes. How can I fix this?

    Did you recently add a scanner? I know that on my system, it takes longer to start while it loads the scanner software/drivers (I assume that this is normal). If I unplug the scanner, it boots a lot quicker. Or, what has changed since the 8100 started booting slowy?
