The default setting is for the defrost vents. Coming out of the floor vent is a little different but it sounds like you have a vacuum leak or bad diverter. Check the vacuum line going to the diverter under the dash to make sure it is connected and not leaking. Also, if the line is OK check the diverter diaphragm to see if it is leaking or the diverter is binding or sticking.

The diverter should be located around or in the blower plenum on the passenger side under the dash. There should be a vacuum diaphragm on a servo with a rod that is mounted outside the plenum with a rod going into the plenum. If you locate the blower motor either from the engine side on the passenger firewal or by looking under the dash you should see what looks like an airbox. That's the plenum.
