Well, if the install stalled due to running out of disk space, then to me it *obviously* is very likely to have those Realtracks that it did install fragmented all over the drive and that can make for problems when BB attempts to load them.

I have personally experienced the need to defragment a drive after installing BB and Realtracks on it, to prevent dropouts and inability to find and load certain selected realtracks - and that was on a disk that was only half full or so. But was a bit fragmented after the big realtracks installation. Windows reported the same old, "you do not need to defragment at this time" it always does when doing a diskcheck, they did not have streaming audio in mind when they wrote that code. So as for defragmenting the disk, I just routinely do it anymore and my music plays well.

So the disk size and amount of freespace left after the install can be VERY important.
