If your laptop has sata disks, you need to patch the CD and burn it again in order to install XP, cos it does not have sata drivers. There are guides on how to do it on the net.
It is pointless to go full screen at 1080p with a 384 x 224 game. Go 800 x 600 and play in a window, it should be good enough. Not all monitors support high refresh rates at higher resolutions.
Finally, laptops are known to have a whole lot of hardware issues. For instance, they are not recommended for real-time applications due to hardware weirdness.
Edit: if you have firewall, turn off any stupid “intelligent scan” or the like. Those love to screw gaming connections.
Anyway, here goes my ggpofba.ini:
