Guest tomcost Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 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

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 (HD-backup): http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/download/trueimage/ (I liked it soo much I bought it.) Good luck.

[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.
