Sounds like you have to many startup programs. Check msconfighttp://www.liutilities.com/products/wintaskspro/processlibrary
Don't download or scan anything they ask but it tells what each processor does so you can manually check which ones you obviously don't need and then uncheck them and choose selective startup.
Your boot time will be much faster. Obviously you want all the neccessary startup files to boot so only uncheck the ones you know you don't need at startup.
I think thats why your screen takes so long to boot.
If your not worried about your data at all and have driver disc so you can install those files. Especially so you can get back online. (network driver for xp ect).You could do a clean install Kind of risky for xp. Much simpler with vista or 7.
If you had a lot of GB of data it would have taken a long time to get xp installed.

Thank you for the reply,
I think that would be the case if I manage to enter windows properly. Unfortunately,I already format it, during the format session, it took me almost 4 hours to be completed which I thought was not reasonable. From my view, the problem may occur from the hardware itself but not really sure which one would be the cause.
