How do you connect a pc to a laptop using the laptop as a monitor?

Answer

You can use a program avalible from Windows XP that allows you to remotely connect to the computer and you can see and control the computer from the laptop. Only disadvantage is this can be slow because of all the information on the screen that must be transmitted in real time.

The program is called Remote Desktop Connection and can be accessed by going to Start > Programs > Accessories > Communications on Windows XP Professional. If you have any other edition of Windows, go to http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/tools/rdclientdl.mspx to download the program. Then go on the desktop computer and type in www.whatismyip.com to find out the IP address. Type this number into the Computer field in Remote Desktop Connection on the laptop and hit enter. You will need to login.

Remote desktop does not work with all versions of windows, "Windows XP Home" for example. (There is a workaround, but is probably beyond most users abilities.)
