Thanks, nass.
But it seems that the application/program doesn't want to connect to the
internet, but to the service control manage. I'm sorry that I haven't posted
the wohle the information.
Following are the full information that xp provided me:

Details
Product: Windows Operating System
ID: 7009
Source: Service Control Manager
Version: 5.0
Component: System Event Log
Symbolic Name: EVENT_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT
Message: Timeout (%1 milliseconds) waiting for the %2 service to connect.

Explanation
Within a specified time period after a new service starts, it notifies
Service Control Manager (SCM) that it is ready to connect. In this case, the
service did not notify SCM within the time period.

The service might be stuck in a loop or waiting on a system resource, such
as additional memory.


User Action
To determine why the service is not connecting, do the following:

Verify that the service is configured correctly.
Verify that the system is in a healthy state, for example, it is not running
low on resources

Everytime when I start up the Windowsxp, the following error occurs:

Timeout (30000 milliseconds) waiting for the WMI Performance API service to
connect.

The error shows only in event viewer.

How can I resolve the problem?

It looks like there is an application/program that want to connect to the
internet on startup and timing out because the time interval for the startup
longer than being anticipated or the settings for this application to try (
say for 5 times).
So try to start in clean boot as described below:

Also try to Disable the Windows Updates from the services and look in the
Device manager for the API devices for malfunctioning or Conflict in IRQ.

Your Network settings is messed up for some how, how do you connect to the
Internet?, try System Restore to an Earlier Date and see if that will help.

Stopping and Starting the WMI Service

If you are experiencing problems with the WMI service you might need to
manually stop and restart the service. Before doing so you should enable
WMI’s verbose logging option. This provides additional information in the WMI
error logs that might be useful in diagnosing the problem. To enable verbose
logging using the WMI control, do the following:
1.Open the Computer Management MMC snap-in and expand Services and
Applications.
2.Right-click WMI Control and click Properties.
3.In the WMI Control Properties dialog box, on the Logging tab, select
Verbose (includes extra information for Microsoft troubleshooting) and then
click OK.
Alternatively, you can modify the following registry values:
•Set HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WBEM\CIMOM\Logging to 2.
•Set HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WBEM\CIMOM\Logging File Max Size
to 4000000.
After enabling verbose logging try stopping the WMI service by typing the
following
Open a run command prompt:
net stop winmgmt

If the net stop command fails you can force the service to stop by typing
this:
winmgmt /kill

Important. If you are running Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 the WMI
service runs inside a process named Svchost; this process contains other
services as well as WMI. Because of that, you should not try to stop
Svchost;
if you succeed, you’ll stop all the other services running in that process
as
well. Instead, use net stop winmgmt or winmgmt /kill in order to stop just
the WMI service.

You can then restart the service by typing the following command:
net start winmgmt

If the service does not restart try rebooting the computer to see if that
corrects the problem.
If it does not, then continue reading.
