l0gic Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I feel like a n00b, and I'm having a hell of a time Googling this. I'm trying to take a screenshot of some common Windows logon error messages for some documentation I'm putting together. Unfortuanetly, the normal "Print Screen" method won't work, as the clipboard apparently doesn't exist prior to a user logging on (which makes sense). Anyone know how to take a screenshot of the login window? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

l0gic Posted October 16, 2006 Author Share Posted October 16, 2006 Nah, no VM software at work. I did try Window's Remote Desktop, but for some of the error messages I need to occur I have to kill connectivity. :x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Depends on your access levels at work but what about MS Virtual PC? Its free, and really simple to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linux4eva Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 How about a camera? How "professional" does it have to look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l0gic Posted October 16, 2006 Author Share Posted October 16, 2006 Nah, has to be an actual screenshot. I did find this: http://www.computing.net/windowsxp/wwwboar...rum/141998.html However, that only brings up the gay cartoonish login screen.
