I have created a database on my pc. It has various reports with it. Everything works fine. I open the database on my Laptop and the reports do not open. You can't even create a new report. I tried re-installing access aswell but still no go. Is there any other known problems I am not aware of?

What version of Access are you using?

Sorry. Both version are 2003.

Does your Laptop have a printer installed? If not, that is probably the issue. Access requires a printer driver to be installed to be able to do anything with reports.

Since you have 2003, you could install the Microsoft Office Document Image Writer printer drive. I use it on my Laptop to print reports to a file for later printing.
