If you install startup manager you can fix your problem with a nice pretty GUI interface.

You could check /boot/grub/menu.lst to see if kernel options include splash.

I think this is what you mean. this is the section


## additional options to use with the default boot option, but not with the
## alternatives
## e.g. defoptions=vga=791 resume=/dev/hda5
# defoptions=quiet splash
