Norton Internet Security 2005 Personal Firewall slows down Windows XP startup

Folks,

After some basic checking, it's obvious that my recent install of NIS

2005, and specifically, Norton Personal Firewall is causing a 30+ second delay of bootup of Windows XP. My background wallpaper appears, but icons take much longer to come up.

I disabled that specific feature of NIS 2005, and reinitiated the firewall that Windows XP SP2 uses.

Are there any fixes for this? I'd sure like to use this Norton feature that I paid good money for.
