I had a cranky PC that I wanted to capture those messages so I setup a camcorder and filmed it. Then I played it back in slow-mo. Some may call that cheating but it seemed to be the fastest way to see what was being displayed.

I have Windows Home professional, 64 bit.
When I switch on my PC, and it is loading, I regularly get small messages on the screen that show up for a fraction of a second - too quick to read properly.
Is there any way of pausing my PC at this point, to read what it says. I have managed to catch part of one message, about being unable to do an autocheck, so it might be important.
Thanks,
John.
