The only way this is possible is if your laptop has a video input on it. Most laptops do not come with a Video-In so you might be out of luck.
If your laptop has Video-In you probably need to get a VGA to S-Video adapter and use the video software on your laptop to view the video input. This will be done within windows on your laptop.
