Ebay slow to load pages

Hello

I've just got back from holiday a couple of days ago and since then I find it extremely slow to load ebay pages sometimes it doesn't happen at all. When I do get a page the ebat graphics seem to be missing, though photos are displayed, and the layout seems different to before I was away. I guess this problem is just with me 'cos I would have seem some comment from others about it happng to them.

This applies whatever browser I use, normally firefox but I have tried using IE6 and opera they are the same though I do get debug messages in IE. Another thing I notice is that sometimes my computer is trying to run a 16bit application typically 123456.exe, always a number.exe type file they are in C:\windows directory and are all 5k filesize I delete them when I find them..... but what are they and where do they come from.

Any help appreciated, I shall post to Techie forum as well. also posted to ebay board.
