My brother has Tri boot Ubuntu ,7 and Vista ..GRUB2 is the bootloader..

The problem : At boot after the Lenovo splash disappears , there appears some 4 to 5 lines of error , error: syntax error GRUB or similar..

This is visible only for a fraction of a second before the GRUB2 menu pops up...
The OS es load properly on selection in the menu so no loss of functionality
One another problem is there is no OS highlighted by default and the timeout message
"Automatic Boot in 10 Secs" does not appear

What could be the problem?

I tried reinstalling GRUB 2 , but same result
