I have seen this caused by Data Execution Prevention acting on old-ish
third-party drivers for Windows Image Acquisition.

Do you have any HP scanners connected to your PC, or having HP drivers
installed for scanners even if not connected?

If you completely disable DEP, does the two minute delay go away?

Thanks Robin, but my scanner is an Epson and even with virtually no
startup programs loaded, the delay is still there.

How would I go about disabling DEP anyway please?

I don't know how you could completely disable it, but here
is how you can get to Data Execution Prevention:

start > control panel > Performance and Maintenance > System >
Advanced tab > Performance Settings > Data Execution Prevention tab

Be sure that "only essential Windows programs and services" rather than
"all programs and services except those I select" is chosen.
