    Boot Manager

    Vista no longer loads automatically. The boot manager now appears first
    showing Vista as the only option which I select to start Vista. I don't know
    why this happens and would like to know why, and how to eliminate the need
    for the boot manager. Vista is the only operating system I have installed.

    Go to the Control Panel > System > Advanced System Properties in the left
    pane. Under Startup and Recovery, click settings. In there you can uncheck
    the "Time to display list of operating systems:"

    Re: Boot Manager

    What other information does it give you on that screen? It may be another
    boot manager other than Vista.

    Re: Boot Manager

    Before I answered your question about what the screen contained Dustin, I
    loaded a copy of EasyBCD at the sugestion of Andre. Using EasyBCD I repeated
    your first suggestion Dustin, and now boot manager no longer loads first.
    Thanks to both of you for your help.
