Start by taking a look at your startup programs to see if you want to eliminate any that you really do not need loaded at boot time.

Start > Run > type "msconfig" without the quotes
Click on startup Tab.
Then uncheck what you don't want to run.

@Bob1940: Your unit ships with either 512 or 1024 RAM.

How much do you have & how long is it taking to boot ?

2gb ram 10 mins and will not turn off at all . hold off button down to turn off 5 sec.

This may sound insane, seeing that you have a fresh install, but I would do a repair-install from the xp cd. Feeling that something went amiss in the install. I would also run something like memtest to check your Ram. While you're at it run a chkdsk /r on your hard drive.
