Thread: Using laptop screen as external monitor

    Using laptop screen as external monitor

    I have a Vista laptop and a new Vista desktop (replacement for a
    dinosaur). I am going to continue to reuse my current desktop
    monitor.

    Question: Can I configure my Vista laptop screen to act as a
    monitor for the new desktop (just to set it up)?

    So, I would like to take the video output of the new desktop
    computer and see it on my laptop screen. This way, I can use my
    existing monitor on the old machine to get some of the settings (e.g.,
    email server information) right. It is an old Windows 98 machine.

    Thanks, Alan

    manual?

    I actually remember seeing a recent video on either Cnet or Pcworld on how to
    this, try looking there.
