Re: How do I fix my "connection to the server timed out" error?

Ah, didn't know it was a laptop.

Well, alot of laptops suffer from overheating which can cause all kinds of problems. The only two things you can really do about it is to:

• Buy a laptopcooler, which cools the laptop from underneath
• Remove the dust in the laptop - spraying it off using compressed air is the most effective method.

You format your computer by googling and finding a comprehensive guide, but in general steps it's:

• Take backup
• Format your harddrive (effectivly deleting everything on your computer)
• Install Windows anew.

Please accept the solution if it's correct and press the XP button if somebody helped you.
