It has nothing to do with your computer!

All operating systems are the same by looks and design. Of course XP and Windows 7 are a complete difference.

At the bottom right, you should see a small blue glossy/glassy tab, click it, it should show your desktop. I don't have a laptop nor do I have Windows 7 so I don't know, but try that.

THIS HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE! Its some weird dumb thing with IE (If you use it)
You just need to change browsers. If you have parents ask them if you can change browsers.

Go into your searchbar (where it says www.roblox.com) and look for a blue error sign. That's ActiveX, turn it off. Refresh the page and it should work.
