Getting VGA output of one computer to appear in window on another computer's desktop



Hello,

This is my first post. I'm hoping my question is appropriate for this
forum.

I want to get the screen image of my second computer to appear in a
window on the desktop of my primary computer so I can capture the
window in Techsmith's Camtasia screen capture software.

Presently, I'm getting this done by outputting the second computer's
screen image through a $75 scan converter device and into the S-video
input of my ATI All-in-Wonder TV tuner card in my primary computer.
This produces a fuzzy image in the ATI TV window on the primary
computer's desktop (due to the resolution differences between a PC and
a TV).

What if I just ditch the whole scan converter/TV tuner card setup? Does
anyone know of an input card or device that I can install in my primary
computer to enable me to input the second computer's VGA output to a
window on my desktop? Sort of like a picture-in-a-picture scenario?

Thanks in advance,
Michael
