Is it my laptop's fault??

yes.

You could try ticking the native box in the gs settings or try some speed hacks.
you are using 0.9.8 though yes?

You didn't even say what game you are trying to run.

I was trying to play pro evolution 2011 but it includes a greek patch.
yes i am using 0.9.8... and i have tried the native box...
as for the speed hacks i dont know exactly what I should choose there.. :/

But with my video card and CPU whatever I try i will still have problems which will make games unplayable?
Also my sound is.... "unplayable"

Your laptop is way too weak for most games under pcsx2.
Whatever you try, you wont get good results.
Keep playing on your ps2 until you get a better machine...

I you plan on using pcsx in good conditions, i suggest a desktop more than a laptop too...

WOW Thank You captainquark, that worked great... I changed my vu cycle stealing from 0 to 2 and it plays Coliseum perfectly now, it was so slow it blowed...
