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

How you gonna hook it up? Do you see any such connector in your user
manual?

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