Laptop as a monitor
I'm hoping you all can help me. A friend's Win 98 system stopped booting.
He brought over his Tower, but not his big heavy monitor. I tried to hook the machine up to my laptop and use the screen as a monitor, but my laptop just keeps booting to Windows. Is there a way to make my laptop work as a monitor for this old dinosaur? Thanks for all your help. |

soldering action. In other words, no. :-) -- Richard G. Harper [MVP Shell/User] * PLEASE post all messages and replies in the newsgroups * for the benefit of all.
