On my desktop the Chroma Key function works fine. I cannot get it to work on my notebook (1 year old,512K RAM, 2GHz IBM). I have the latest version of DirectX on both. Any suggestions?

You probably have a on-board video chip on the laptop .  See if there is a update for your video set up.  It may never work with that laptop video chip because the program probably defaults to software.  Forcing it to hardware could cause a problem.  (VideoWave (top menu) tools, options)
Regardless of what I say about computer maintenance, there is no need to defrag a solid state hard drive.

Have you looked for and tried updating the driver for your video adapter?
What video adapter do you have?
Listing it may allow someone to offer some ideas.
