A few common reasons for your problem there.
1) Your computer hardware specs are too lousy. If you haven’t changed your computer after 5 years, it probably is outdated. Technology changes everyday, and Vista is a pretty resouce-intense operating system (OS) compared to XP. If this is the issue, there is no other way to fix this other than getting better hardware (or reverting back to older OS)
2) You have network drives connected to your computer. If you have ever put your machine on a network and connected to a shared drive, this can slow you down too. If you have a drive that is still mapped, but cannot be reached it will slow down windows during boot time. This is because windows will wait…wait…and wait some more for the remote server to respond. To clean these out open "My Computer" and go to the tools menu. Click on "Disconnect Network Drives"and disconnect the drives that you do not require.
3) You have too many startup programs. Are there many programs starting up automatically when you turn on your computer? That is a very likely source of your problem. Please go to "Run" and type in ‘msconfig’ (without the quotes). Go to the Startup tab and if you know what you are doing, uncheck some of the programs that you don’t need.
4) You have been infected by malware (which includes viruses, trojans, spyware, rootkits, adware, etc). These will slow down your computer as they do lots of things in the background like ‘phoning’ back home to its creators. If you think this is a possibility, I HIGHLY suggest you use ParasiteDB Disinfection Service:

I hope the above helped. It took me quite some time to compose my reply.
