i've installed the desktop manager 4.5 along with the roxio media manager that came with it and i don't really like it. It eats up huge memory resources and also attempts to reinstall when i open it at times.
is there any other program out there to xfer files to the BB or maybe a more stable version of the roxio media manager?

Yes. You don't need Media Manager at all, if you have a Media Card. You can use Mass Storage Mode to drag and drop files to/from your pc/blackberry much more easily than with Media Manager. But it only works if you have a Media Card.
