Anyone know a way you can capture screen shots during software installations, windows start up and during Windows installs? Also interested in knowing how you can capture the Windows NT or 2000 Security Screen ie. after CTRL+ALT+DEL?

Compaq makes "Remote Insight Board" software, which has it's own power supply and network connection. With that, you have browser access to the entire boot process from another workstation, and it would be simple to get screen shots from that.-----

Without a Compaq server, you could use another alternative. Grab a utility called VMWare from www.download.com. VMWare will allow you to run a "virtual machine" inside of your existing operating system. Using VMWare, you should be able to install Windows NT in a window in your existing OS, allowing you to use the sceen capture utility in that OS to take screen shots. VMWare is actually designed so you can run multiple OSes at once, using windows to switch back and forth.
