OS selection page automatically comes up after turning on or reboo

[tomcost]

The Operating Systems selection page automatically comes up after turning on
or rebooting PC.

I used the Trend Micro utility to go into safe mode and now I can't get my
PC to stop automatically going into the choose OS selection page.

Any ideas?

Windows XP Home Edition SP3

Hi tomcost,

Have a look at the following:
First boot to normal XP, then:
1) control pannel -> system -> pick the advanced-tab.
2) You'll find a section (the latter in my case) that reads: 'Startup
and Recovery'. Open this one by clicking 'settings'.
3) The new window you see holds some information you can tweak.

Mine says litterally (inclucing ")
"Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect


boot.ini reads:

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP
Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect

A warning, if you play around with that, make sure you don't screw up
too much and make your system unbootable.
You can use this utility to make a reliable backup of your whole system

(I liked it soo much I bought it.)

Good luck.

Hello Erwin,

I did what you said and found this...

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home
Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Safe mode" /SAFEBOOT:MINIMAL
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Safe mode with network
connection" /SAFEBOOT:NETWORK
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Normal mode" /fastdetect
/NoExecute=OptIn

Is there something in these settings that is causing the problem?
It looks like a lot more than what you have.

Thanks, Tom
