Re: Main user account slower than other accounts...what gives?

well this is beyond frustrating!!!!!!!!! AARRRRRRGGHHH

so I have created 3 (yes, THREE) different accounts, and all work fine for
the 1st couple of days, but eventually they start exhibiting the same
behavior...extremely slow!

right now, when I click on explorer, it takes 3 secs to open, and when I
click on C: drive, it takes about 5 secs to show the contents.....the bar on
the top starts going green and slowly moves until 5 seconds later and then
shows the contents. ALso, when previewing pics, it is pain staking slow to
go from one to the next.

switched over to my wife's account, and perfect, all runs beautiful.

there is gotta be a simple answer.

ps- I noticed I have a pagefile.sys of nearly 4 GB! and a hiberfil.sys also
near 3.5gb...is this normal?
