Default Hope l got the right place

Hi all, can someone help me out, every time l boot up my pc it goes to the bios screen l have been in and changed it to boot from the HD no luck, l have also asked it to boot from the CD, still no luck. The only way l can get into Windows Vista is to hit disregard changes and exit. This problem has only happened since there were new windows update.
l do hope somebody here can help me sort this out (very afraid to mess with the bios setting, as l don't know what l am doing)
Thanks in advance for any help

Does your PC spend more time off than on? Is it several months or years old ?
If after your workaround to start Windows, you subsequently reboot it without powering off, does it boot then ?
I'm not sure but if it's happening the same every time, is like the backup battery is flat. These are typically the ones like a 10p piece - CR2032 3v lithium on the motherboard.
