Title: RE: Trying to understand why Ethereal has problems under XP

I had two versions one installed in \windows\system32 the other was a special version in a temp directory I set up as requested to help resolve the problem.  I have renamed the special version and everything continues to work so, I don't know why it has started working, but it has.

Regards,

Clement

Can you tell me the exact date/time/dimension of packet.dll you are using?

Just a final consideration: only ONE packet.dll must be present in your
system, and MUST be located in \windows\system32\.

So, once you have understood which is the one working, move that to
windows\system32 and delete ALL the others.
