Reg. Form Drop Down Menu United States Shows Twice?

[MichelleC]

I am trying to set the pull down menu of the registration form for United States ONLY yet United States is listed twice in the drop down menu.

The bottom listing for United States is successful which is what I selected from Localization/Taxes - Countries. I delected all the other countries except United States and this works fine.

The top United States listing in the drop down menu needs to be edited to read Select Country. If I select that United States from the drop down menu I get an error in the Confirmation Page which reads:

Warning: htmlspecialchars() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /home/username/public_html/store/includes/functions/general.php on line 42

Please help!
