XP Pro wants to run set up at each startup

W

Waldegrave

We have one computer that greets us with the message

Select OS to Start
XP Pro Setup
XP Pro

at each startup. It defaults to running setup.

XP Pro has been installed correctly, and does not need to be reinstalled.

Can anyone provide info on how to eliminate this startup message.

Thanks

Specifying the Default Operating System for Startup

If you have more than one operating system on your computer, you can set
the operating system that you want to use as the default one for when
you start your computer:

Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click System.

On the Advanced tab, under Startup and Recovery, click Settings.

Under System startup, in the Default operating system list, click the
operating system that you want to start when you turn on or restart your
computer. In your case - XP Pro.

Select the Display list of operating systems for check box, and then
type the number of seconds for which you want the list displayed before
the default operating system starts automatically.
