Default How to connect to a new monitor....

Hi,

I'm using my old Win98 PC as a temporary external hard disc for my newer
Vista PC (until I get a proper external) and was connecting via TightVNC.
However the old monitor has now broken and something seems to be preventing
the 98 PC from booting properly, at least I can't see it on my 'network' and
can't connect via TightVNC. I never had the foresight to try and install my
new monitor drivers on the old machine so when I connect it up to the new
monitor nothing happens. Short of buying an old monitor second hand, can
anyone suggest an alternative to see what's going on?

Fortunately there is nothing valuable on there and it's all backed up but I
would still like to use it......

Cheers
