Sorry to hear about your problems with the pc. My first thought is of possible infections so I would like to have you head over to our Malware forums and start a topic their first to be sure they are no infections causing the problems.
If they give you the all clear then report back here and we will see if we can repair your problem.
1. But Lets try this first if, you want to try and make sure it not a add on causing the problems try this:
IE Trouble Shooting
Please remember that it is possible to use IE with No Add-ons, without making permanent changes to the regular configuration of IE.
Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - Internet Explorer (no add-ons)
This is much like SAFE Mode, in that it does not change normal settings, but allows for functioning in a testing environment without the influence of those normal settings.
In concept, the use of Internet Explorer no add-ons is "similar" to renaming a file extension instead of deleting the file.
Here's an MSDN comment about the use of Internet Explorer - no add-ons:

2. Report back here with the results, before moving on to the next step Below.
3. Now if that does not help, Here is the link to follow with instructions of what to do at the malware forums.

OK I tried that. Got it to IE with no add-ons.
It once again hung up with the (not reponding) message
This time it said:
AppName: iexplore.exe
AppVer: 8.0.6001.18702

Q. Can you give some info as to why you installed a new harddrive, is this the current one you are using now and if so was data copied to this drive off the old one or was an image of the old drive done and moved it into the newer drive?
This could be a sign of corrupted files.
________________________________________________________________________________
I had googled this 'hungapp' subject earlier and it appears as though most comments indicated some sort of Microsoft screw up...maybe with their new Explorer 8 program?? I wouldn't be surprised at that as it seems microsoft puts a lot of new stuff out on the market with lots of cliches in it. In fact I'm getting rather tired of their carp**, and really thinking about getting a MAC
I just experienced another 'hungapp' hangup. This time it said:
szAppName: WINWORD.EXE
Verison: 9.0.0.2717
When it does this hangup it says "Windows Internet Explorer (not responding)", and just hangs there doing nothing and not responding to any keypad or mouse input. The finally after a minute or so, the (not responding) meesage goes away, and the computer works again.
________________________________________________________________________________
Again could be possible corrupted files, WINWORD.EXE this is MS Word program and poping up saying they could be some problems.
But Anti-Virus software alone IMO not good for catching all Spyware and All Malware, I speak from my past experiance of dealing with infected machines.
For right now give us the details of what took place with the new drive, , What happen, what was done and When did the problem start? This is needed to see what we may have to do.
We still have a few options open and things we may have to look at.

Have A Good Day,

I am also running a defrag of C-drive since I have not done so in quite awhile.
I'm not sure as I can't always remember what the computer is saying to me instruction wise, but I think I detected some sort of incompatibility with security matters when I was trying to operate my laptop on the new wireless 'n' router (Belkin FD5D-8236) I installed in my friends house I am visiting here in FL. I had to the wireless router without any of its built-in security features as I just couldn't get it to work with my laptop. (this probably doesn't have anything to do with my problem I guess. It was just another piece of the puzzel I was sorting thru to get my laptop running properly at his house}.
I am currently not experiencing many (not reponding) errors at all. I'm beginning to think the real culprit is the add-ons of IE8.
Sorry for this extra confusion factor.

As I went to defrag my computer this program HDD Defrag popped up and before I knew it it ran a diagnostic and told me of many problems with my C-drive. When I googled that HDD Defrag I found it to be some sort of malware that wants to sell me some sort of download fix. I did not purchase this fix, and have tried for 5 hrs today to get this carp** program off my laptop. But I can't seem to get it totally cleared off. I searched for ever file/folder that has HDD in its name and sent them all to the trash, but still unable to get this carp** off my laptop. These people should go to jail that put this carp** on the internet.
This is what I tried to use:

Ok Beiland
Please do not try anything else nor try to use any other program to fix your problems, buy doing so could cause futher problems. Please wait for instructions.
Now as Ztruker said in post # 14 follow those instructions to get over to the malware section and follow their instructions, once cleared of any infections then report back here if you are still having problems with IE 8.
