Vista - Splash screen is Acer not Windows

How do you change the splash screen, ?

When it boots up, the Acer splash comes up preceeded by a brief flash like
a safe mode setup, can not see what it says it happens very quickly, then the
windows logo comes up then the desktop.
Do you have to change bios settings , if so how?

You should be able to disable the Acer splash screen in Bios, but then again some prebuilt systems may not allow you to disable their splash screens. There are third party apps that claim to allow you to tweak/turn off/change etc. the splash screen, but I've not used any so can't speak of their usefulness..

well i came here looking for some help but all i got was sarcasm, i don't
have a manual , sorry to say , it was custom built, dealer is out of business

Go to this site and enter you motherboard ASUS M2NBP-VM CSM and you can get
the manual. Usually tapping the "delete" key during boot will get you into
the BIOS.

You should not have to wait.
From the pull down menus:
select product - Motherboard
Select Series - Socket AM2
Select Models - M2NBP-VM-CSM
Press Search
Select your operating system
Press search
Expand the manuals list by pressing on the + sign
Then go down the list an find the English version of the manual.

By the way, this board uses the DEL key to enter the BIOS. Press delete
during POST. I usually tap it multiple times.

It sometimes is busy so you may have to try again.

I don't have your original post so am not sure of your exact problem.
When you boot the first screen that displays it is the BIOS boot screen
provided by the MOBO manufacturer since no operating system has been loaded
yet then after Windows boots the Windows splash screen displays.
Are you saying that the Windows log in or desktop displays after the boot
completes without you seeing any Windows display screen first?

What does the Acer splash screen look like? Is there anything on it besides
the Acer logo?
If you do an F8 safe mode boot does the Acer screen come up or after you
select safe mode?
If the Acer screen is before the F8 screen then it is being displayed by the
BIOS since it is before Windows has started the boot process.
If it is after the F8 screen then it is part of the ACER version of Windows
that they have installed on your system.
If the BIOS is displaying it I have no idea if it can be turned off in the
BIOS you would have to check all of your BIOS options.
