Try this;
Open Terminal and execute this
Code: su -nano /boot/grub/grub.conf

Set default=2. Press Ctrl+X, Y and hit Enter key to save file.

Thank you very much for this solution. This solution really works, except we use "default=1" in place of "default=2".
Although this solution is very helpful to me and I owe you to submit this solution for me.I have become a fan of you...
