Merry Christmas all. i have a question.

Merry Christmas to you also.
What errors does it give?
One possibility is that the video on a laptop may not be suitable, eg the Intel video chipset on some business oriented systems.
You could try running the system requirements tester here:

For example for The Sims 2 my laptop with ATI video passes the minimum requirement but fails the recommended.
