Hi Guys,

I have a laptop that is fairly new and I recently put a second profile on the laptop for heself but now it is running really slow. Ive tried the usual tricks of checking the free space on the drive for swap space, clearing the temp internet files etc but it doesnt seem to have helped. Any idea's?
