Well, if I understand what you want, I can think of a couple of
products. Microsoft used to have a product called Camcorder (or maybe
CamCorder ;-) that came with Office 97, but it's not listed anywhere on
their web site any more. However, if you have Office 97 you might see if
it's there. Lotus also has a product called ScreenCam (I think!), so you
might visit their website and see if it does what you want.
