I would also hate to lose the NERO capability. I'll look into that but I don't have it auto loading but I did agree to use it to open all programs. It doesnt come up when I use Hoster and I am not getting any error messages.. The whole computer just locks-up when I try transferring the disks into Hoster.

You will not lose Nero. Most of these programs for burning CDs think they have to start when you start the computer. The only thing that will happen if you remove the Nero short-cut from the Startup in the programs menu is Nero will have to start when you want it to instead of as part of the computer start. It will open just slightly slower. That is all.
Microsoft is not going to include any updates except to their programs in their updates. If you don't do all the updates, Hoster may not work correctly. The Custom updates lists all the updates available which lets you see what is available. Nothing downloads or installs unless you tell it to.
When you go to the Task Manager, there are several things you can look at. The tabs accross the top allow you to look at Applications (programs you have open), Processes (all the parts of programs running including many things that run in the background such as those you mentioned above), Performance (amount of processor time and amount of memory being used). The last two tabs are not important for this. What you really need to be concern with is the Performance tab. If your memory is being maxed out then you may have problems with importing.
