post a CoHHelper and a HijackThis report for the laptop. we will be able to tell if it is something that is interfering with it. if not, we can put our heads together and see what we come up with.
having a heck of a time getting either of those programs to work >_< any suggestions on why my cohhelper results wont copy to the clipboard or why i cant find the log file for when i scan with Hijack this?
Probably you need to install the .Net 2.0 framework. Link is on the CoHHelper page.

Since you don't list the OS, it's a bit difficult to list possible solutions or problems. Since you mentioned trying to run it as administrator I'll answer this a if you have Vista or Win 7,
For the updater, make sure that it's not set to run in a Compatibility Mode such as XP. The things to be checked on the Compatibility tab is the Run As Administrator box, possibly the Disable desktop composition and Disable visual themes.
Right-click on CoH Helper and select Run As Administrator.
The HiJackThis logfile should be in the installation directory for HiJackThis.

OK this is weird the problem fixed itself and i no longer have the problem it might have been the wifi network at my school. Now that I am home it works fine. sorry to waste your time and thanks for all the replys you guys are why I play this game a great community 
A school network? Yep, that could well have been the problem.
Working in the Technology Department for the local School District I can see where it's likely that certain ports or sites are blocked.
Heck, you can't even play anything on the CoH website or forums and they were blocked by my district's web content filter as "Games". I got them to unblock the forums since you have to have an active account to post and I only access the forums at lunch or after hours.

I was getting a laptop ready for my brother and I wanted to download COH for a test run to make sure it runs on it.
The icon has this little Blue and yellow shield in the corner and refuses to connect when i click on it. I get the updater but none of the graphics load and it stays at connecting 1.
I tried running it as admin but still no go.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
