[WEB4LIB] Re: BIOS Print/Capture

[Keith Higgs]

Once your Win2K system has booted - try this...

Open your favorite image editor (even Windows Paintbrush should work) and 
CTRL-V paste from the clipboard. Theoretically the screen image should be 
pasted.

Note, I have not tried this myself yet - at least not from a BIOS screen 
capture but, I have done other screen captures in this way from an already 
booted Win2k box.
