Okay so I'm on vacation right now and I zipped my entire gta program files so the files with the folders anim, audio, etc... and I downloaded it on my laptop and I downloaded sa-mp. I installed sa-mp into the GTA files folder and the installation completed and I opened the sa-mp client. I added several servers to my fav's and whenever I click connect nothing happens. I remember on my pc back at home this error message would pop up and I would click ok and the game would load..

Were you able run GTA: San Andreas single player in your laptop? And yes, you need DirectX 9 to run this game.

Can you post a screenshot of your DirectX Diagnostic Tool > Display tab and Sound tab? To run this tool you can simply press
Windows key +
R key, then type
dxdiag in the text box, finally press
Enter key.

If you have Nvidia display hardware in your laptop, then yes, you will need it.

As you can clearly see, your display hardware is not yet fully detected. Right now you have a Microsoft Standard VGA Driver installed for your display device, and the driver date is so old. That driver is very basic and all your laptop gaming hardware accelerations are disabled. You need to download and install the latest display and sound drivers from their official manufacturer websites. I hope you already know your laptop hardware configuration or refer the manual/driver CDs that came with your laptop.

There are several automatic driver update softwares you can find in the internet, but I won't recommend any of them right now because I haven't used any of them before. These are some of them:
1. Assuming your laptop have an AMD display device:
AMD Auto-Detect Tool
2.
Driver Easy
As I said, I won't guarantee any of these softwares will work in your laptop. If the above softwares won't work as expected, try googling any other "automatic driver updater" software in the internet. Always scan those softwares for viruses. Until you try that, can you post your exact laptop manufacturer and laptop model name/number. Maybe you can find your laptop hardware configuration just by googling your laptop name and model.
