Profile selection on startup

Please forgive me should this have already been covered.

My Windows XP machine has suddenly started prompting me to select a
hardware profile upon startup, even though I have only one (default)
profile.
I have made sure the 'wait' time for the profile was set to zero, but it
still requires me to select the only profile I have.
Why is this happening and what can I do to fix it?

Thanks!!

OP

Right Click on My Computer, Select Properties, Hardware Tab, Hardware
Profiles Button and make sure the following two items are true:
1) You in fact have only 1 "hardware" profile
2) The second radio button titled "Select the first profile listed if I
don't select a profile" is marked.

Jupiter - a "hardware" profile is not the same as the "user" profile and
neither have anything to do with the other.

Thanks for the reply. I have already verified the two conditions are
true.
