Active Desktop Recovery

Whenever, I start/restart my computer, I get the active desktop recovery screen. It wasn't an improper shutdown or anything. So why is this happening?

Disable "advanced power management" (APM) in the BIOS.
This according to a MSKB article

power management was always disabled, I figured it out though, for some reason it didn't like me using true color instead of high color, once I switched to high color it was fine.
