Just getting started using Ethereal.  Downloaded ethereal-setup-0.10.5a.exe
and WinPcap_3_0.exe.  WinPcap installed without incident, but Ethereal
popped up the following on startup.  Sorry this makes the e-mail so large,
but the popup window is pretty much unresponsive to any attempts to capture
the text only:



I have no clue what this implies, but "CRITICAL" kind of stood out as
something somebody might be interested in.  The cursor in the lower left
corner is blinking.  Closing this window closes Ethereal also, and
vice-versa.  Task Manager shows 2 lines in Applications, one for the popup
("Ethereal"), and one for Ethereal ("The Etheral Network Analyzer").
Leaving the popup open, Ethereal does appear to capture and display packets
OK, but I've only used it for a few minutes, so there may be a problem
lurking.

Host system is a Dell Latitude C840; 512MB RAM; Windows XP SP1 plus all
current Microsoft updates; screenres 1600x1200.
