In the past I had an app the showed my cell phone on my computer. The app let me interact with my phone using my pc mouse and keyboard. Anything out there that does this? Thank you in advance
 
I want it to be a fully functional phone on my pc. I want to dial contacts from my pc so I can leave the phone in it's dock. I want to able to interact with all my applications as if I were on the phone, especially ones that have no desktop apps.
 
Excuse the slight thread necromancy... To have that much control? The only way that I know you could do that is to root your phone. Then, search for 'Webkey' in the Marketplace. I've seen it ('Webkey') in action (via a friend), and it'll do what you described plus more.

EDIT: Note: Rooting can be dangerous, and should be studied out thoroughly before attempting. I am not liable for anything that goes wrong due to following my comment(s), proceed at your own risk.
 
Airdroid is the best non-root app to let you do that, but you won't be able to run apps on your desktop using it. I've read somewhere that someone's doing well in creating a virtual machine to run android apps on the desktop, but I don't know if that'll work in direct relation with the phone or when it'll be available.
