Almost all of our Windows XP machines are hanging on Applying Computer
Settings for 60-90 seconds on starting up and rebooting. Some other threads
relate it to APC software but we're not running that. Any other thoughts on
what could be causing the machines to hang and what could resolve this?

Often a DNS problem if you are using Active Directory. Make sure the XP
clients only use a DC as a DNS server. Make sure the DNS server on the DC
points to itself for DNS. Set up the DNS server to forward to your ISP's DNS
server for outside requests.
