PC Screen Capture

I am trying to make a minesweeper solver with Labview. I would like
capture the screen to analyze (specify the coordinates to capture, if
possible), but I cannot seem to find a *.vi that can output a BMP
file. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

"Write BMP File.vi" is what you are looking for but it isn't in the base package.

Hi Jordan,
as I understand, you want to directly capture the minesweeper window. This is possible with a little program, you can control it via command line. If you start it with /? there is a little help window, explainig the switches (x,y,width, height, jpeg quality). To read the crated bitmap file, you need the VIs mentioned above.
