Slow Internet connection Initialization on Startup

Hello i am having an unusual problem with windows 7 64 Bit.

I am using a belkin wireless adapter with windows 7 64 bit drivers. When i startup the computer the blue circle just keeps turning on my internet connection icon in the taskbar. The internet connection takes 2-3 mins to startup and it can be annoying every time i startup windows. I cant open some programs until it has finished starting up. Everything else in the taskbar starts up though. Even when i uninstall the drivers the same problem occurs.

Does anybody have any idea why i have this long delay?

do you have an HP printer by chance

No i have a Lexmark X5470 Printer but it is connected to another computer on the network.

ok i have had problems with a HP background service causing a very similar issue

Yeah i tried the msconfig method of disabling everything and then starting up the computer but it still takes about 2-3 mins to load up the internet connection. When i uninstalled the drivers. I reinstalled it again but still had the same problems. These drivers are windows 7 64 bit drivers.

It is highly unlikely that it is spyware/virus as i have always had this problem even when formatting the computer.

It could possibly be the drivers as the last time i unistalled it the internet connection loaded up in 10 seconds. But the time before that when i unintalled the drivers it still took 2-3 mins to load up.
