Wireshark · Ethereal-users: [Ethereal-users] Ethereal 0.9.3-1 fails on startup with W2K5.00.2195 Service Pack 2

["Ron Stordahl" <ron.stordahl@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just downloaded and installed WinPcap2.3 and Ethereal 0.9.3-1 on a Win2K machine 5.00.2195 Service Pack 2.

 

Error is immediate upon start up:

 

Gdk Error **: Palletized display (256-colour) mode not supported on Windows.  Aborting....

 

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime error in ethereal.exe

Abnormal program termination.

 

 

I have my graphics set for 1600 x 1200 which for my system sets color back to 256. 

 

If I set my graphics for 1280 x 1024 I can run 16 bit color, in which case the above error does not occur.

 

Is there a reason why the program needs 16 bit color?
