I ended up getting a program called AutoIt (http://www.hiddensoft.com/AutoIt/) to do this script which snaps a screen capture of just the application window, and then saves it into an area of the web server. A PHP page there displays the images with a timestamp of the last time the image changed. A bit of a kludge, but it seems to be working nicely right now. It only works with IE as the web browser at the moment, but my next step is to add a line to convert to jpg so everyone can view it.
