updates

I just went to windows updates....and it appears that I have all the updates... it did a verification update...and a couple for microsoft office.
Is there a site for the MTU Internal burner driver update? No software came with the burner.
I was also wondering if having NERO on my computer will cause any problems.
I reformatted recently and when the computer locks up from Hoster and I manually reboot...It used to say that windows was not shut down properly and it checks the C Drive. It doesnt say that anymore.

default cd rom

When I first installed hoster it asked where to put the songs. And I listed a folder on my second Hard Drive(120 gig) My Main hard drive is 40 gig.
I deleted and redownloaded hoster and removed the folder. It still asks for that initial folder but goes to a default folder.
It also asks which Disk drive I am going to use. Apparently, my CD Rom drive, previous DVD Drive and the new MTU Drive all are Hoster Compatible. I choose the new MTU drive to use , then hit "OK".

Default Drive

I think my Sony DRU-800A DVD Drive was originally in my computer when I first downloaded Hoster. When that didn't work I took it out and installed the MTU Drive.

Did you do a Custom update or an Express update? The Custom update lists other updates that Microsoft doesn't deem as critical, but may be needed for Hoster to work.
Your MTU drive name/type and the firmware version are listed in the Tools/CD-DVD Default Drive list. Then go to the manufacturer's website to get latest firmware.
Yes you can have Nero on the computer, but you need to go to the Programs/Startup menu and delete the Nero shortcut. This will prevent it from interfering and won't hurt Nero.

update

I did an express update because I am not sure about custom updates-like I don't know what exactly might fix this issue. I have Avast antivirus , Zone Alarm Firewall and I use Ad-Aware programs. I might try turning all these programs off and trying again.(as far as the RAM). also when I do the ctrl-alt-del I just get what I am using at the time--one or two items.
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.

Hardware

I am using an Optiarc DVD RW-AD-717OA Drive from MTU. I typed Optiarc.com and got a server webpage.
My Graphics card is an NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200

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.
