When you restart Windows XP and the Welcome screen is displayed, your computer may stop responding: neither the keyboard nor the mouse work. When you restart your computer again using the F8 key, you may receive the following error message:
System restart has been paused:
Continue with system restart. Delete restoration data and proceed to system boot menu.
This problem can occur when your computer enters into the Hibernate mode and accesses a corrupted memory snapshot.
To resolve this problem, select the "Delete restoration data and proceed to system boot menu" option which enables the computer to perform a normal restart, instead of performing the restoration process while the computer is in Hibernate mode.
