The exact message?

There is an HCL that may tell you what is not fully supported.

You should start with the latest version of either Sun solaris or opensolaris. Both have versions that run as live cd.

"Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10

Read up on starting video in VESA on solaris.

Laptops are usually difficult since solaris is more of a server os.

Get the newer opensolaris too. See the HCL.

Worse comes to worse, get Virtualbox and run any os in it on your current os.
