XP boot up

I have installed Windows XP Pro on my computer.
Everything works fine except as it boots up I get an
annoying black screen that ask me to choose which version
of windows I would like to use. If I don't choose
anything it defaults to XP after thirty seconds. I find
this screen very annoying, I only have one version of
windows on this machine! Is ther a way to get rid of
this so it can boot up without this screen? Sure slows
down the boot up process.
thanks

Right click My COmputer and go to properties, advanced,
startup and recovery. Find out what 'other' version of
windows is running, and either choose the default and set
the time to zero, or look for the post about removing
superflouos installations of Windows XP. Good luck.

right click "my computer" >> properties. Advanced Tab >> settings button
under "startup and recovery", uncheck "Time to display list of operating
systems". DONE.
