Two if you haven't I would look at the Custom updates from Microsoft and do any that pertain to hardware. Also if he is going to upgrade (highly recommended) then you will need to load .Net Framework 1.0 and 2.0 to be able to install.
Most likely your glitches are being cause by the program running from the external USB drive. Response from a USB port as opposed to an internal IDE or SATA port is greatly reduced.

Basically I agree with Dale, but here are our recommendations.

1. With all the features we now have, 1GB RAM is requiured.

2. Hoster must be on the C: drive. What he wants is not possible. PERIOD!

3. MTU recommends doing ALL Custom Windows Updates. Dale may be right, but if anything is not working right, do ALL upgrades.

Hoster 2.219 is no longer supported. It will not work with currently available CD/DVD drives at all. Very old drives are no longer recommended, so you have a Catch-22 to worry with. Use Hoster 3.321, which will release today.
