For some reason, after I have xp installed for a little over a month, it begins to take so long to start up.
I dont have many things starting up when I start up and even turing them off still leaves me waiting at the welcome screen for a while, expecially if my system crashes, in which case it could take over 5 mins to fully load up the desktop and stop all hardrive and processor activity.
Any clue as to what could be going on?

If the system crashes xp checks the disks for any errors (scandisk).
Check the event log.

So did you defrag your hard disk periodically?
OP
all the time.
perhaps you should try defaging the registry
you can download sysinternals reg defragmenter
