Dell XPS Problem
Hey I have an XPS Gen 4 and it is broken well not broken but let me explain. It used to work fine but then it wouldn't turn on and now it only turns on and thats it. Nothing appears on screen. So I was thinking of putting windows 7 on it using a clean install to wipe out the viruses if theirs any. So my question is, "Is their any way I can do the upgrade without using the monitor?, I mean is their any way I could use my laptop as a monitor or anything along that nature. Any advice is much appreciated :)

Maybe give some free advice about: Computers?
If there is a virus, spyware or other software issue that is preventing something displaying on the screen when you start your computer, then using your laptop as a second monitor wouldn't do anything even if that were possible.
If you put the windows 7 install disc in and turn the machine on, and nothing appears on the screen, then you either have a hardware issue, or you don't have the BIOS set to boot from CD.
Either of these should be resolved by someone with a bit more computer experience.
