Startups loading twice

Comment:
A friend of mine sent me a screenshot of her taskmgr because of slow start up time. I noticed that all start up processes were loading twice. This includes all Win processes down to the antivirus programs. Can anyone tell me why this might be happening and what can be done about it? I'm sorry I don't have more info on her system other than she is running XP with 512 ram. Thanks
