Hello, seems like your sleep mode doesent work as it should. Try to download all windows updates and look for a fix on microsoft sites.
But the best solution is to inactive the sleep mode setting and use the Hibernate options(if you want a fast start) but I suggest that you turn off windows with shutdown, its the safest and best way to have your computer to work properly.
To inactivate sleep mode.
windows xp
go control panel and power options
Change the system standby to never.
also choose power schemes battery, and change the system standby to never.
also the harddisk to never.
This should solve your problem.
To activate Hibernate you need to click on hibernate tab and bock the square.
hibernate= saves all your work to harddrive to restart your computer where you left off.
sleep mode= saves your work to RAM memory=takes a little bit energy.
