Resources to different programs? Vista 32 bit

An example:
Unpacking a huge .rar-file and after starting that, I want to surf the
Internet. IE 7 is starting up, but no homepage shows up in the window before
the .rar file is unpacked finished.
How do I tweak Vista so it can share resources between Winrar and IE7 (IE7
cache)?

Sometimes (but not everytime) when I'm burning a DVD with Nero 7.5, and I
want to check email while burning, Nero loses focus on the burner (Samsung
SATA burner) while Vista Mail is loading, allthough Vista and Emails is on a
different harddrive than the files I'm burning to DVD, and after Vista Mail
has loaded, Nero never "find" the DVD-burner again, so I will have to reset
the PC, and the DVD is useless.
How do I tweak Vista (and Nero) to keep focus on the DVD-burner while
burning a DVD?

Both examples above is ruin my experience on Vista, and none of them was a
problem in Windows XP SP2, but I guess it is a matter of tweaking Vista, or
....?

System
Intel E6850
2 Gb ram and 512 Kb ReadyBoost
Gigabyte P35 DS4 mobo
400Gb Seagate HD + 250Gb Samsung HD
Samsung 183A SATA DVD-Burner

Dear "Sven" I have been having problems burning DVD's and most of them are my
lack of knowlede. Would you be so kind as to let me pick your brain so I
could learn?
