Which Sound Forge are you using, Studio or Pro? If you use Pro, have you figured out how to use the equalizer?
It is likely that your laptop just does not have as much power as your desktop, but there are things that might help. It is possible that you would have better luck with one of those USB sound cards because there may be more buffering. However, you might also try turning off features you are not using on your laptop such as your wireless connection to avoid network activity that might affect resources. In some cases, turning off the real-time virus protection could make a difference as well, but of course, only do that if you are disconnected from everything. It is likely that you are getting these clicks because your computer gets busy and doesn't capture the digital representation of your recording. Also check the settings of your sound card, and use only as much of a sampling rate as you are going to use. Some cards default to a high sampling rate. You might also need to check power saving options. If you are recording and your hard drive goes into standby mode, it could respond slowly when Sound Forge writes to it and data could be lost. Frankly, if you are making serious recordings, you might want to consider a stand-alone recorder to do the initial recording and then transfer it to your computer. I believe that some of the recorders that Olympus sells will record into WAV files now. I have done some of this to have encountered the above problems, but there are likely those here who have more expertise as to specific steps you might take.
