Either you don't meet the requirements, your disc is defective, or your player is. Do you have a good video card too? Do you have a CD-ROM drive, or DVD-ROM drive? Is the disc a DVD-ROM? You mentioned that it requires 2x for DVD so this is telling me that it is a DVD-ROM, which case you will need a DVD-ROM.

Check these first.
Memory and CPU: Right click on your My Computer and than Properties. For a Laptop...I would recommend no lower than 512MB of RAM.
Hard drive: Right click on C drive and than properties.
