Win XP Hang Time

I got winxp home and when I boot it shows the winxp loading screen then it goes away and this black screen comes up with about two or three minutes and then the computer boots fine with no error. When I booted into safe mode I discovered the file it hangs at is agp440.sys. I've heard its normal to stop here for a second if its a slow machine but this comp is almost brand new. Any ideas how to speed this up?
