Monitor

Is there some way to use my lap as a monitor for a desktop?  I am trying to do some work on my daughter's desktop computer, which is also a Dell, and I want to use my laptop as a monitor. I had her bring over everything but her monitor.  Was that a mistake?
Thanks,
Julie Allen

    You'll need a capture device - USB, PCMCIA, etc. -- to hook up any external input.
