That error means that your gpu doesn't have enough memory to handle the DAG file. It's larger than 4GB now so there's not much you can do if you don't have more than 4gb of video memory.

Or add more virtual memory in windows !

Probably your GPU in laptop has 4GB video ram or less. Don't try to mine with your laptop because even if you could mine with it you wouldn't get much in return

You can mine Ethereum Classic or other coins that do not use DAG
Try to find information about mining Ravencoin (RVN)

Generally laptops cannot mine.  Couple of things.  Mine ETC sounds like you are actually trying to mine ETC not ETH.  ETC can be mined on video cards with 3gb vram.  Since you have a laptop most likely it doesnt have a big enough gpu for mining.  The other problem you will have is if your laptop has a big enough gpu it will not last long mining.  Laptops are made to be portable and generally suffer from cooling issues when it comes to mining.  Watch more videos and read more about mining.
