Does the task manager show them using a lot of cpu?

Does the event viewer show any information or errors about them?

Is it a lot or all programs or only certain ones?

Follow Up:

CPU not showing a lot of usage.

Event Viewer:  I do not know what I am looking for or how to operate!

Ran HD tests using Seagate Tool & Gsmart.  Basic tests Passe

Do the programs still hang in Safe Mode with Networking ?

Open a command prompt as an admin by going Start - type cmd.exe - right click on cmd and select Run as administrator - accept the UAC then type sfc /scannow and press enter to see what that reports.

If that reports no integrity violations then work your way through http://pcerrorpedia.com/how-to-resolve-windows-7-not-responding-message/ and let us know how you get on.

ran scannow....no problems.

Applying list of possible solutions via http://pcerrorpedia.com/how-to-resolve-windows-7-not-responding-message.  Disabled Desktop Windows Mgr. and zeroed Indexing Locations.  So far so good!  Will report back after further testing.

Many thanks for your help!
