Did your system get real laggy after maybe you installed a graphics driver.
And was maybe this graphics driver the Nvidia 331.00 version.
Just Curious.

OK... wait around for Wolfman or Swarfendor to answer that particular question.
They can explain how to go about things a little better than I can.
That shouldn't be to long from now.

Hi,

what method of install did you use?, disk or USB stick and did you follow this advice?:

Have you done a full update?, open a terminal (Ctrl + Alt + t) and paste the following command and then restart:

Code:: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -f

Also it would help to know if this is dual-boot or just Zorin and no other OS present.
