Do you have the Gruntz Level Editor? If so, on your laptop, select the Games menu and select Gruntz and click on CalcCowID.
Now to your other problem: what is the operating System of your laptop? Windows Vista is the last version that Gruntz runs on with relative ease ... later versions require a bit more work. Frequently one problem is that a file named MSS32.DLL is missing. That file should exist on the CD-ROM, but it is also available from this discussion Forum ... but I do not know exactly where it is as I am typing this. I will search it out after posting this reply ... but it is probably right here somewhere in "Olio".
