The only thing that changed was last night's windows update.
There weren't any unscheduled updates for Windows XP this month, so I can't see if I was affected. Knowing exactly which updates were applied last night might give a clue. On XP, you can request a historic log from Windows Update, if you start it explicitly.
UPDATE: pidgin opens but it takes like 10 min.
Are you still getting a delay? Otherwise, it might be the post-restart stage of the update. If you are still getting a delay, the debug log should give a clue as to which stage in the startup is experiencing problems.
