Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me with this since it been driving me crazy. I recently installed Windows 7 professional and had some problems with my first install, so I decided to reinstall. In the course of getting everything working on the the second install the Windows Boot Manager comes up everytime I turn on the computer.

It is very strange because:
-I have only Windows 7 installed on my computer and no other OS.
-The only selection is one instance of Windows 7 (I know sometimes when you reinstall the same OS will be listed twice, this is not the case for me)
-there is no countdown timer to automatically start windows. I have to press the enter key or it just stays there.

Other than that, windows 7 is working fine for me. It is very annoying since I sometimes leave the computer after I turn it on and when I'm back it still is on the Boot Manager.

These are the things I have tried to get it working:
-I've went to msconfig-->Boot Tab and looked to see if there was a more than one OS listed. There is only one instance of Windows 7 listed.
-I went to my computer properties-->advanced system settings-->advanced and set the boot manager to not run, but it still comes up even after I change this setting
-I also tried reinstalling windows 7 twice. Once with just formatting the partition. Once with deleting the partition and recreating it before the install.

This is very frustrating. Can someone help!!!

Use this: EasyBCD 2.0.2
download from here

http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1

Follow instructions below:

You can try downloading and installing this program: EasyBCD 1.7.2 It's a Vista boot manager.
1. Once installed, open the program and click "Manage Bootloader" on the left side.
2. Select "Reinstall the Vista Bootloader" and click "Write MBR"
3. After that's completed, click on "Change Settings" on the left side.
4. Now lower the "Bootloader Timeout:" down to 0 and click "Save Settings".

Restart to see if it works. I hope it helps out.
