No you can't. Multiplicity let you control two or more computers with one set of mouse and keyboard. You still need a monitor for each PC.

I know there's software out there to do waht you ask for, but I don't know the name of any. But I'm sure someone here knows.

Thomassen is correct. The purpose of Multiplicity is to let you control multiple PCs that are positioned around you from a single keyboard and mouse, but they each need their own monitor.

If you want to remote control a PC and see its screen on your monitor, you need some kind of remote desktop application. If you have XP Pro, Remote Desktop is included. XP home includes it as well, but it can only be controlled, it can't be the controller.

Alternatively, I think Symantec used to make a program called Remote Desktop. I'm not sure if they still do.

You could also use VNC (which is free), if that's what you're trying to do
