Alex--
Did you do an upgrade from a previous legacy OS--some version of XP or a
dual boot?
Are you not booting to Vista by default now?
You can change the preference of boot to either boot to XP or Vista if you
are on a dual boot.
If you have XP and Vista in a dual boot, you can do this:
Specifying the Default Operating System for Startup
If you have more than one operating system on your computer, you can set the
operating system that you want to use as the default one for when you start
your computer: • Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click
System.
• On the Advanced tab, under Startup and Recovery, click Settings.
• Under System startup, in the Default operating system list, click the
operating system that you want to start when you turn on or restart your
computer.
• Select the Display list of operating systems for check box, and then type
the number of seconds for which you want the list displayed before the
default operating system starts automatically.
To manually edit the boot options file, click Edit. Microsoft strongly
recommends that you do not modify the boot options file (Boot.ini), because
doing so may render your computer unusable

You could also use bcdedit at the command prompt.
