I know that some of the more recent Windows versions got a lot more picky about applications not responding timely. This usually happens if the event thread is blocked, and the application stops consuming and responding to windows events. Could it be that your application is doing things like retrieving or processing data with a long running time on the application event thread, instead of offloading that work to a separate thread? This is one of the primary causes of application not responding errors.
