There's alot going on with OOTP at the close of the year; Auto saving, Almanac generating, Reports etc. I wonder however.... do you have FaceGen enabled and is it set to Update & generate pic's on Jan 31st? (Player and Picture options) in game setup.

I was helping someone out with a similar problem, and by setting this option to "Always if needed" it took some of the burden off his PC so it wouldn't have to do so much just to begin the next season. It also helps by diasbling your virus scan. I've noticed myself using Vista that when OOTP has alot of work to do i have to sit patiently through the OOTP is Not responding issue until it finally comes around.

I hope this helps.
