Depending on your needs there are several programs which could be used for this. All of them require network connection. If you need to view the monitor of another computer on your lan (most of the time meaning within the same house) I would recommend VNC. All you have to do it install the server part on the computer you wish to watch remotely and then run the client on the computer you wish to watch from and enter the machine or IP address of the server machine.

If you want to view the screen of a computer outside of your lan (over the internet) I would recommend Teamviewer. Free to use for non-comercial use and also pretty easy to get started on. On the computer you wish to watch, press the "Join Remote Control Session" just below the green download button on the frontpage. Run the file once it's downloaded and write down the ID and password showing on the window popping up. On the pc you wish to watch from, you should go to the teamviewer page and press the green download button and run it once it's downloaded. Then simply choose "Run" when the setup asks you what you want to do. Then enter the ID and password you got from the other computer and press "Connect to partner" )

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.
