Photo screensaver hangs up computer

This was working well until a couple of days ago. For a screensaver, I like to have a slideshow of my photos. Now the entire computer hangs up when I attempt to select the folder containing the photos. In fact, the folder selection window stops

The computer stays hung up for about 55 seconds, then it hangs up again when I click on a folder. After several attempts, I am able to select a folder, but after running awhile the slideshow changes to landscapes.


This is vexing me, and I will appreciate help.

Workable but harder for me to work with...the Note tool on the bottom of this editor's toolbar, as shown in the image, to copy and paste the output from EtreCheck. In a Reply before you click post, look for this to add longer texts...
