I have a laptop with Vista. Since I don't want to buy new programs to get at
some of the data on my desktop (W2K) how can I use my laptop monitor for both
so I can clear desk space by removing the old moitor? I can't see how a KVM
switch would work for that.
 
Your laptop screen can only be used with the rest of
the laptop hardware its attached to. You cannot use
it as monitor for a different computer system.
