PC slow to boot since installing wireless NW card

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I've had to install a wireless network card to my desktop PC to allow
connection to my wireless router and what used to take less than a
minute can take up to five minutes to allow me to work. First it takes a
couple of minutes showing the Windows XP screen which eventually goes
black and then the log on screen finally appears into which I type my
password and there is another delay whilst the password field catches up
with the keyboard. When my desktop finally appears, (up to two minutes
later) the icons then take about a minute to show themselves, crawling
slowly into view. I have installed the latest drivers for this card from
the manufacturers web site without improvement. I have tried to start it
in safe mode and time the files as they are loading and it seems that
Mup.sys (is this file necessary, something to do with Novell servers?)
could have a bearing on the problem as it refuse to load or seems so as
I get fed up and reboot the system.
Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated
