Re: FWD: Screen Shots BEFORE OS Loads

PC-Anywhere is another (but resolution is not too hot and installation is
not too convenient).

But in another vein, I would think that any program (or script) that runs
before Windows starts can also be run after it starts, perhaps in a dos
shell.

Or, if it is your program, and written in c++, for example, you can just get
the individual screens from the developers.

Finally, if they are fairly simple screens, I would just create them myself
using PaintShop Pro -- cut and paste the various screen elements (borders,
fields, radio buttons, whatever) from existing screens in the same family
and label the fields as you like the PaintShop Pro text editor.

             There are remote administration tools for the Mac and PC that
present
             the display from one machine within a window of another
(Timbuktu is
             one of them--sorry, long time since I fooled with 'em.)  Have
the
             screenshot tool capture the contents of the Timbuktu window,
and
             voila!  (Not perhaps the cheapest solution...circa $100, but
hey--gets
             the job done.)

             (This is a trivial matter under UNIX, but *that* wasn't your
             question....)

             Cheers!

        Gang,

        I'm documenting a process that includes starting the PC and logging
into
        the network.  I'd like to include screen shots of the network login
        process, but have not found a way to get the screen shots.  We run
Windows
        NT 4, and the network login occurs before NT loads: By the time most
screen
        shot software can run, the screens  I need have long since vanished.

        Any suggestions?

        Thanks.
