Strange computer problem

I've just recently started having this problem. All my media players are starting to take forever to start up. Just the media players. I mean, even winamp takes forever now.

I've done a spyware scan with Webroot Spy Sweeper, and a virus scan with NOD32, so I know it's none of those.

Any suggestions?

Download Spybot: Search & Destroy, and Adaware.

Scan with those.

Download HijackThis

Run a scan and save a log, then paste the log into www.hijackthis.de

Do the scans with Spybot and Adaware while in safe mode. With Hijackthis, once you get the log info, print it out, and then go into safe mode and delete the bad stuff.
