Wireshark · Ethereal-users: [Ethereal-users] Problem with new installation.

["Wozny, Scott" <swozny@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Installed winpcap 2.3 and ethereal 0.9.11 (win32) on WinXP SP1.  I've rebooted after install and when I run ethereal it pegs the processor but no window appears.  It's not consistently increasing memory, so it looks like it could be a display problem (took colours down to 16 bit colour from 24 bit just to make sure as I read in the FAQ that 256 colour was a problem).  

Just to make sure it's not winpcap, I downloaded windump and it works fine.

I'm not able to locate any debug files and I don't know if I can run GDB under XP so I'm wondering if there's a way to launch ethereal so it records some data I can use to troubleshoot this problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Scott 

BTW, I gave tethereal a try and I get the following response and need to ctrl-c to get my prompt back.  Element Manager isn't running at the time, but some SNMP objects seem to be trying to load.
