my dads got a desktop but he sick of his big old crt
and my laptops got a vga plug is he just pluged it in
is there a way to set it where it uses the laptops screen?
well not really, since a monitor has pins on the connection on its input lead - and the motherboard has a female connector or "holes" - although you can get adapters that swap a female and male pins/holes if its not the case.
I have done this, I just plugged the laptop into my graphics card, but for some reason it was just an extension of my desktop monitors screen (very long)
So It's possible, I know it is.

You should be able to do the above by extending your desktop onto the laptop monitor, then disabling the original monitor. Of course, there's no guarantee it would work on your specific laptop...
