1) is the n64 turned on?
2) does it usually work on a TV?
3) does your usb adapter usually work?
4) are you pugging the cables in right? (ie NOT pugging it into Y'/Pb/Pr jacks on an HD adapter)

its a standard coaxial cable plug so the standard RF lead fits in it perfectly. if recieves television fine..... which is why i dont see why it cant detect the N64.

You're using an RF box, right? (Not just fitting the yellow plug to the coax jack somehow?) Sorry if this sounds really basic but I can't think of any other reason for it to not work...

Maybe your RF box is no good... :?

well there is this usb device that accepts RGB, it can be used on a computer, anyways it allows the user to use the screen of a computer thats hooked up to the computer to play games and videos and stuff like that, try www.froogle.com and search around - it's called usb to tv adapter I think, the main purpose was to allow a computer be hooked up to a TV through RGB

Try looking for a TV tuner Card that would fit in your Laptop, and use that with a RF cord and run the TV tuner on your Prefered Channel (Really doesnt matter) and It should work, But I really dont know, I have never tried it. In fact I may Try it right now because I have 2 TV tuner Cards.
