Be sure to change the properties for your project. Under "Properties"->"XNA Game Studio"->"Game profile:", select "Use Reach...". The default setting is "Use HiDef", which requires a beefier video card, among other things.

It could be that your laptop's video card is not supported by DirectX.

What model video card is installed in your laptop?

Yes then it looks like your video card isn't supported by DirectX. Sorry about the bad new. – huntsfromshadow Mar 18 '11 at 19:00

Chances are your laptop has a low-end integrated graphics card. You could either upgrade your laptop, or use a deskop machine (which is more likely to support XNA).

Make sure you are using the latest video drivers available for your video card. I had this waring on my laptop until I upgraded my drivers (nvidia)

Yah some hardware missing and yes I think in the error message it is saying that it couldn't find the appropriate 3d device.
