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....)

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.
