    Default Using an OLD laptop for a second screen

    Hello multiboxing community, i've been multi-boxing for ~4 months, i have a 2x 32 Warlock pair, and Priest Paladin Pair, usually i only use one computer and one monitor, however after looking through my storage i found my old dell laptop ( Latitude XPi CD ) with W98 Installed on it, i tried to figure out how to use it as a second monitor but couldn't figure out how, can i get some help please =?

    Im bad with hardware so if you need any specs just post here and ill reply shortly.


    Thanks,
    East.

    You would need a way to input an singal into the laptop and that can't be done. Well, you could use video out on your main pc and video in on your laptop, but the stats your laptop has it will be 640x480 res max... And it's pretty rare too, a video input so you would have to go and by a converter ... Wich creates the next problem: You'll need USB for that. (There are more sollutions but they al require usb 2.0 and with w98, you won't get that)

    I'd suggest to buy a random monitor if your main pc has a second output ?

    Most likely im going to buy a monitor anyway but im just trying to put this one to good use... so i got a converter, and i hooked it up to my main Monitory, but when i start up the laptop it just starts up black, and when i try to go into Bios i think the command was Ctrl - Alt - Enter, it wont do anything =(
