Windows error recovery

hi there
I have a one yr old Acer desktop with Vista Home premium.
Lately when I turn the computer on in the mornings, all is fine, I enter my password , get to welcome screen, and am ready to start working, and the computer restarts itself without any warning.

I get a screen then headed "Windows error recovery", " windows did not shut down properly"and a selection of four choices.
I select start windows normally, which it does, and then I have no further problems until the next morning

what can I do please?
thanks, cheers

I my self don't know much about Vista but I did find this here by yahooing the words "Windows error recovery" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows...ry_Environment I wonder if you have something running in the back ground that does not shut down properly when you shut down Windows

Right-click My Computer.... then click Properties......Click the Advanced tab.
Under Startup and Recovery, click Settings to open the Startup and Recovery dialog box.
Ucheck "Automatically Restart" check box, and click OK the necessary number of times.
Reboot...the next time the PC tries to shut down you should get a screen with an error message(s)
