I'm not familiar with the internals of the Windows platform, so I'm
probably no longer the best person to address this issue. I'm guessing if
you try to get a second "screen capture" while your program is running,
you're simply getting a screen capture of your own application running.

The first thought that pops into my mind, though it's probably messy and
difficult, is to write a fake Video Driver so that windows actually sends
all the drawing instructions to your driver, and then you do some
translation magic, and then send the translated data to the "real" video
driver.

The second, less messy solution, is to redesign your app so that it
doesn't occupy the fullscreen. Either use the taskbar approach, or the
magnifying glass approach as mentioned earlier in the thread. The taskbar
approach is probably simpler.
