Check the msdos.sys file in the root direcotry of C drive.If there is a line in it which says "BootGUI = 0" then change the '0' to 1.This is a hidden,read-only file.At the DOS prompt type:

attrib -r -h msdos.sys

and press enter.Then you can edit the file.It is better to make a copy of the file before editing.
