Vim displays a message when you open a file. Vim displays another message when a search wraps around from the end to the beginning of the file. Thus when you launch Vim in this way, you get two messages.

If you only have space for one message, Vim will make you press enter to continue, so that you can see both messages.

Try setting your 'cmdheight' option to 2 or higher. This gets rid of the press enter prompt in many cases such as this.
