I think it might be helpful to post a CoHHelper report and a HijackThis log. That'll give us more info on your system so we can try to help.|

Serenity is not freedom from the storm, but peace amid the storm ...
I had this issue when I first moved to &. I uninstalled CoH, updated windows, my drivers, and then reinstalled CoH from the website fresh as a daisy (no carry over of an old install trick).
I'm not sure which part of my cleansing ritual did the trick but it worked like a charm.
It's the driver. Reinstalling CoH is unnecessary if it works upon sign-in.
The WDDM drivers don't play nice with OpenGL, you'll notice the overexposed welcome screen, slow performance (despite capable hardware), usually fixed 800x600 resolution, and no mouse cursor.
For your laptop, get the latest driver from your laptop manufacturer. If you can't find it, or they don't offer one, use the card manufacturer's website to find your driver.
