Using laptop screen as external monitor

I have a Vista laptop and a new Vista desktop (replacement for a
dinosaur). I am going to continue to reuse my current desktop
monitor.

Question: Can I configure my Vista laptop screen to act as a
monitor for the new desktop (just to set it up)?

So, I would like to take the video output of the new desktop
computer and see it on my laptop screen. This way, I can use my
existing monitor on the old machine to get some of the settings (e.g.,
email server information) right. It is an old Windows 98 machine.

Thanks, Alan
