Taking long time to Boot-UP & Startup

Recently i installed Oracle 8i and Visual studio 6 on my PC..Since then iam encountering a problem i.e. my PC takes more time to BOOT-UP and Start-up(perhaps 7-10 minutes)...if i uninstall the 2 above mentioned softwares then it again becomes normal...But as i need those 2 softwares for my project work so i cant uninstall them right now...
Is there any solution to solve this problem and enhance my boot-up and startup time...??
Plz reply..

My PC Config. are:-

Intel P4 processor (3.06 GHz)
Windows XP Professional OS
80 GB HDD
512 RAM

Note:-My Hard Disk is almost full...and the C-drive where my windows is installed has 1.5 GB of Space left..

Use msconfig to take off the unwanted items off the startup list.
Free up some space in C drive - use DiskMax and CCleaner if required.
Defragment C drive.
