If you do a clean installation, you'll need to reinstall your applications. Windows XP comes with the Files And Settings Transfer wizard (FAST). This will allow you to back up your files and settings before doing the installation, and restore them afterwards.
A clean install won't see these 'problem' programs, so there shouldn't be any issues. HaM Configuration appears to be related to your dial up modem. It may or may not be needed under XP. You'll have to check with the modem manufacturer, or your computer manufacturer to see if it is, or not.
