Are you running Media Center Edition?

You'd probably get a more accurate response in
microsoft.public.windows.mediacenter Media Center has a few extra bits and
bobs so a longer boot time could be perfectly normal.

However for it to load the first lot of applications is definitely not
right.

How did you install Media Center? I was under the impression that you
couldn't "upgrade" from a previous release of Windows XP anyway, so I take
it you're using a clean install? If you could let us know on that it would
be useful to rule out any upgrade issues.

If it started doing this recently you might also wanna try using System
Restore to restore your machine to a previous time.
