[Costia]

are you trying to mine on your cpu or gpu?
what is the hashrate?
what do the pool's website stats say?

short answer: its probably bad

[P4man]

What hardware, what OS, what software and what pool are you using?

HP Pavillion laptop? Forget it. Seriously.
Take a glance here to see what hardware is necessary to mine BTC successfully, without killing your machine in the process.

Yeah any laptop will die fast

My guess is your laptop doesn't have an OpenCL-compatible graphics card.  My Toshiba laptop doesn't have any OpenCL-devices either.

If by chance you do have an OpenCL device, I think you would need to download the ATI Stream SDK.  I had to do this before I could start mining on my desktop a few months ago.  I think it still applies now but I'm not sure.

Edit:  By the way, even if you find out you can mine with that laptop, I wouldn't expect to make more than pennies a day.  

Edit #2:  On the other hand, if you find out you can mine with your laptop, it might be good to just mess around with different pools and settings so you can get a feel for it if you ever decide to do a hardware upgrade and build a mining rig.

You will be losing money and killing you laptop. The GPU will probably overheat.
What gpu does it have?
I have a T400 with an Intel GPU that cant do anything except run powerpoint (with a really low power consuption)
Mobile GPUs are generally made for saving power and not games/mining. unless its an Alienware laptop.
