you'll probably need to get a screen capture program of some kind. Vista comes with one and it is a feature of MS Notes that I use at work a lot.

Are you using Boot Camp? If you are, you should be able to use Fn + F11 (or Option + Fn + F11 to capture the active window).

You can also use the On Screen Keyboard in Start > Programs > Accessories > Accessibility.
