Here's a little know method you can use (that you don't hear about much) for significantly increasing your page loading speed. I just did it to my computer a few days ago and my loading time has increased at least 50% or higher. This only takes about 2-minutes to do and can be adjusted accordingly. Follow these instructions to do it right now from this message board:
Minimize This Window (Click the - sign at the top right).
Right Click MY COMPUTER.
Click On PROPERTIES.
Select DEVICE MANAGER.
Click on the + sign next to the "Ports (Com & LPT)" entry.
Double-Click COMMUNICATIONS PORT.
Click on the "Ports Settings Tab". (Change the Bits Per Second to the highest possible setting, which should be 921600.)
Close then restore the window by clicking it's name on the bottom task bar.
You should find that your loading speed has greatly increased. NOTE: If you have problems connecting to your ISP after making these changes (the speed may be too great) lower the setting one setting lower each time until you can connect with no problem. This should increase your page loading time in communities, and make pages load in a flash outside of communities. Great for dial-up modems. I've been running at this speed for a few days and haven't had any problems at all.
Let us know how this worked for you....
