I had my computer running a little better by selective startup and getting rid of the old Norton software. Now it is slow again and giving me the not responding message across the top of computer.What happened?? Here is my latest Hijack This:

You do have a fair bit of stuff running at startup. But at this point, I don't think this is relevant.

What program/programs come up with 'Not Responding'? Is it just through general usage, or at a specific point?

Another question to ask, what are your system specs (RAM, CPU, hard drive etc)?
