We are running a VM on a VMware workstation 7. We are trying to capture debug output (written using OutputDebugString) that happened while booting (but not from the kernel). Is there a way to connect DebugView to a VM?

You can use Log Boot feature of DbgView on the virtual computer itself. Just select Capture – Log Boot and reboot virtual computer. After it restarts, open DbgView and see all boot trace messages.
If you want to connect to another (virtual or real) computer and see its trace, both from kernel and user mode, you need Windows Debugging Tools (WinDbg), and not DbgView. Read this article: http://www.catch22.net/tuts/vmware
