Tried to get a beginner first script working.

I have this working on muc slower laptop, but not on my desktop, so I presume not a internet provider issue. No proxy, vpn. Windows defender firewall same on both computers.

installed **pip install diffusers transformers torch accelerate scipy imageio matplotlib opencv-python**

pipe = StableDiffusionPipeline.from\_pretrained(‘runwayml/stable-diffusion-v1-5’) won’t work, nor any other model. Nothing will connect to Hugging Face, but works on my laptop.

I just reinstalled Windows and still no luck.

(diffusers) PS C:\Users\James\Desktop\creative-image-generation\> python .\txt2img\_stable\_diffusion.py  
Couldn’t connect to the Hub: (ProtocolError(‘Connection aborted.’, ConnectionResetError(10054, ‘An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host’, None, 10054, None)), ‘(Request ID: 78ad92d3-d368-498b-af81-5a498a559d84)’).  
Will try to load from local cache.
