The system needs an username and password to check for write/read/execute permissions, if you want to run a program to make a screenshot of a login screen BEFORE the login occurs, as corona688 says, i don't think it's possible.
But in Windows, there's an account that doesn't have any restrictions on the system, it would be Windows "root" user, it's name is SYSTEM, it's responsible to initialize all the services in the system and some other things, SYSTEM user is superior than the Administrator one.
You can configure a program to run BEFORE the login occurs by telling the SYSTEM account to execute it, this can be done with the gpedit.msc program.
Go to Start -> Run... -> type gpedit.msc and click OK
On the Group Policy console, get into Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Scripts (Startup/Shutdown) -> Startup and double click on it, in the new window select the path to the program you want to run before logging in (the screenshot app) and restart your system.
With the program, i cannot help you, this is a UNIX/Linux forum, and Windows is a different operating system, which opperates in a different way.
If you were on an UNIX system, i would tell you to do a simple `cat /dev/fb0 > image.raw` to capture the screen, and a `cat image.raw > /dev/fb0` to view what you've captured. Obviously this wont work on Windows. By the way, in an UNIX system, it is impossible to do anything without logging on.
