    I'd wondered why I was remembering that driver name. Lots of issues reported with it over the last few years. It was great in the mid-2000s though! 🤔

    @StephenDespot

    A brief experiment went at normal speed just now, can you provide a specific example please?

    Nothing other than they were VERY slow to load and look at, all of them no matter what. I don't know any other way to explain it other than that. Anything else on the internet loaded as it should.

    @StephenDespot Sorry, I wasn't clear, can you provide the URL of an example image/catalog search or entry that is slow to load, please?

    All of them, just pick one. It happened on every single catalog I went to, no matter the location. It wasn't specific to any one group. Go to the Hercegszántó, Bács-Bodrog, Hungary books for one, that's where I was trying to do stuff last night. Check Sztanisics, Bács-Bodrog, Hungary and also Zombor, Bács-Bodrog, Hungary. Same issues there and in other countries I pulled up just to randomly see if the problem existed on those too and it did. Although a recent check on some of these now seems to be working as they should now. Trying to find out why it was such a problem a day ago.

    @Ashlee C. are you aware of any problem with catalog performance in the time period @StephenDespot mentions, please?

    Stephen, given it's working OK now, there is nothing I (or the others here who are not FS staff) can do to investigate past history, sorry. But if you have problems like this again please do bookmark the offending page(s) so that you can direct Community members straight to an example of the problem. Thanks.

    I may have gotten to the bottom of it anyways and it looks like that Rivet Networks Killer Ethernet program got reinstalled on my computer when I did the Windows 11 upgrade the other day. I took it off there once before because it caused problems, especially with numerous things on this site, and it came back again. It's a nuisance program and I don't even know why it's put on computers because all it does is slow your progress way down or in some cases makes it unusable on some web sites. Since I removed it, it seems like things are back to how they should be for me.

    Yeah, David, it's a worthless program. Not even sure why it's installed or included with anything. Some computers you won't know a difference but I do with mine when it shows up. I wish I could control when it mysteriously sometimes gets reinstalled but MAYBE now with me going into the system and disabling it, I may not see it again.
