There is a great deal of information available via Google on different ways to speed up boot and common errors.
You haven't given much information about any specific problem so it would be impossible to guess.
Is this a new computer which has always had the problem. Have you recently installed any new software or hardware. Is this computer networked or does it have a network card or built in lan port.

Try disabling the lan port in the bios.
It could be Windows waiting for a response from a network connection which it eventually times out, but causing a long delay in your boot.
Also check in admintools/event viewer to see if there are any error reports logged every time you boot.
