I have no other use for it. It has one UBS port. It only has VGA out, not in. I heard that there is software you can use to do this, but the stuff I saw costs $30. Is there anything I can get for free?
By the way, I also want to invert the screen of the same laptop to be upside down. Again, is there any free solution?
Thanks in advance.

That was not the question.
Thanks to those with legit answers, though.

I don't know of any way to use it as a monitor, however it can be used as a 'slave' machine for things like web browsing, controlled from a 'master' machine.
To do this (free solution), look into tightvnc http://www.tightvnc.com and win2vnc http://win2vnc.sourceforge.net
You will need both programs - tightvnc on your old laptop, and win2vnc on your new machine. You can control the laptop by moving your mouse off one side of your new machine's window and it will appear on the old laptop. You will be able to use the keyboard to control the laptop too.
This is not as useful as having a second monitor but it's still quite useful.
I asume you mean you want the screen rotated 180° and not just horizontally flipped. Unless your laptop supports screen rotation in hardware (unlikely for a machine from the win98 era), there probably isn't a useful software solution.

Use the Serial to USB convertor to use your laptop screen as computer monitor.
To invert the screen of the same laptop upside down: -
ctrl + Alt + down arrow key

Its no longer stable sufficient for the two OS, you may set up 2000 yet its going to be sluggish. I have been given 198mb on my win 2000 emachines intel celeron processor, in spite of the undeniable fact that it lags soooooo a lot. in short you want a clean comp or you ought to establish Xubuntu, you meet its minimum standards. Its have confidence able so do no longer concern.
