Here is my question.... or better yet, here is what i want to accomplish.

I no longer have a monitor for my desktop computer. I do however have a laptop. Is there anyway to view the contents of my desktop computer through my laptop.

Just in case anyone need the specs, which i think you dont really need.
Laptop is running windows vista basic and the computer is running windows xp pro....

about the only way I can think of that might be accomplished is if you networked the two and remoted into the desktop... not what you are realy looking for... as far as I know with out tearing apart your laptop and jury rigging the display there is no way to directly input from a computer to the display of the laptop.

first of all thanks for the fast reply and i kinda thought that was that i had to do, however, i did not want to do it. Big problem, i am having major problems networking my laptop to my pc. The funny thing is, at my girls house, it works perfectly.

Any help on how to do this

my laptop has windows vista home premium and my desktop computer has windows xp pro... im guessin i should go into the networking forum huh

Yeah you might want to do that.... unfortunately networking is not my forte especially when dealing with vista...

Hi mrq201

I suggest you start a new topic in the networking forum, then either myself or someone else will help you out there
