My c++/openGL app works on my pc but not my laptop

I have taken somebodies source to study and once i compiled it it worked on my computer. In order to get it working i had to get the glut header and dll and lib file. At first it didnt work but once i put glut.dll in windows/system it worked. When i didnt have the glut.dll in the system files i got an error message along the lines of....'Missing glut.dll' But when i tried to do it on my laptop it said, 'windows can not open application, send error report?' It said this after i put glut.dll in windows/system on my laptop. Does any one know why it isnt working and is it part of security options on my laptop? Below is the source i am using

Have you tried updating your laptops drivers, it sounds like your video card driver is out of date, because that particular code(nehe lesson) runs fine on all of my computers.
