Applications not Responding
Windows applications primarily interact with each other and respond to the events triggered by user with the help of a process called message processing. While the user clicks on a button in the application, the windows kernel posts a message to the application which it can choose to react to, in its own way. If the application is busy doing something else, the message waits long in the message pool. If the application is locked up infinitely doing something else, the message goes unprocessed and the application seems to be not responding to the user.
