Ok. Are there a lot of icons to the left of the clock. (Or a double arrow next to a couple of icons?) That could indicate you have a lot of programs starting at startup) If you want to see what is running at startup use this program:

StartUp Control Panel

This will create a control panel item that shows you what is starting up on your computer. You can uncheck things to not have them startup on boot. (Beware: this can mess up your system so make a backup)
