There are tools made by Rational and the like that record and playback
actions on your GUI and check what is happening. These are really in the
realm of regression testing rather than TDD, and I have to say I've never
really found a use for them.

What exactly is it you're trying to test? What aspect of the behaviour? It
may be that you can achieve the desired testing by other methods.
