How do I do this I need to pull my files programs pictures ect from my old laptop to my new laptop my problem is that my original laptop the screen has been cracked and I can't see the screen?
Option 1: There should be a monitor port on the back of the laptop. It's a blue plug. Take a monitor from a desktop computer and plug it into the blue port on the laptop. Then turn your laptop on. You will be able to see your laptop screen on the desktop monitor. Then save your files to a CD or flash drive. Option 2: If you don't have a blue monitor port on the laptop you will need to pull the hard drive out of the laptop and buy a hard drive 2.5" (Either SATA or IDE) to USB adapter then you can plug the hard drive into another computer and read the files, copy them, etc.. This option should be carried out by a technically savy person or computer tech.
How can you toggle between a connected desktop monitor and the laptop?
Right click on the laptop screen. Choose Graphics Properties, and under "Display Devices" Set the Operating Mode to "Extended Desktop". To the right of that, there will be two positions listed. Under Display selection, you can set the primary device to "Digital Display" which is your laptop, the secondary device should be set to "Monitor". Your mouse will then be able to move/toggle over both screens. Hope this helps.
Can you use your laptop as your desktop monitor?
No, you cant. While laptops often have ways to output video via VGA or S-video ports, they lack a way to input video. Edit- The real answer is "It depends" I can use my laptop as a monitor-- It has a HDMI port on it. Actaully, I practice this quite frequently. Laptops with a legacy s-video or a HDMI port have the capability of being used in the manner, but sometimes the hardware doesn't support it. You're on your own for this one.

If the IBM laptop you use has a VGA port you just connect your monitor cable directly to the port. Then turn on the laptop and it should install the drivers needed to use the external monitor automatically. If you laptop does not have a VGA port then you will need a "Laptop replica port" to add the VGA port so you can connect the monitor.

What kind of laptop computer should I purchase if my daughter mainly uses it to play PC games?
It depends whether she is playing really new games or older games, but I would recommend a farely powerful laptop (one with good RAM and a good video card). I would also suggest you get a desktop rather then a laptop unless she will be carrying it around alot, because a desktop is more powerful then a laptop of the same price.
