In order to fix the Runtime Error 10061, you first need to ensure your Internet connection is working. To do this, you just need to load up Google or another search engine in your browser and type a random word inside. This will bring up a fresh set of results, and will show you whether your connection is actually running or not. If the connection is not running, you should contact your Internet provider, but if it’s okay, then you should look at the steps below..

You next need to ensure your Firewall is not blocking the “WinSock” connection. WinSock is the protocol that all Windows computers use to connect to various “sockets” on other computers across the Internet. This protocol is used for all sorts of Internet features inside your PC and is constantly being used. Unfortunately, many firewalls block this protocol from running, which means that if you’re looking to use it on your system, you need to either disable your firewall or create exceptions for it.

After you’ve done that, you should then use a ‘registry cleaner’ to clean out any of the potential errors inside your system. A registry cleaner is a software tool that can help prevent all types of Runtime error, as they will scan through the “registry” of your PC and fix the errors that are inside there. Runtime Errors are often caused by Windows being unable to read the various registry settings that it requires to run, making it essential that you’re able to get all these potential errors cleaned out from your PC. To do this, you just need to use a’ registry cleaner’, which will fix all the errors that could be causing the runtime problems.
