Getting something that says program not responding is either going to be a windows issue or problem with the software that caused that. Do the other accounts act the same way? If not, login to the admin account and then delete yours and recreate it. If all are acting like that, you may need to reinstall windows.
You could run Startuprun, freeware from:-
