Dear Ethereal support,
 
I downloaded and installed Ethereal 0.10.5, the latest version.  I am using Windows Millennium Edition.  Every time I run Ethereal, first a DOS session window opens, and this error is displayed a huge number of times in the DOS window:
** (ethereal.exe:4294372067): WARNING **: Couldn't load font "MS Sans Serif 8" falling back to "Sans 8"
until finally it stops and the Ethereal GUI opens.
When I try to save a capture file, first I get this error dialog in the program:
Ethereal has caused an error in MSVCRT.DLL. Ethereal will now close. If you continue to experience problems, try restarting your computer.
And the DOS window says this junk:
(ethereal.exe:4294257511): Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkfilesystem.c: line 652 (gtk_
file_system_filename_to_path): assertion `filename != NULL' failed
 
(ethereal.exe:4294257511): Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkfilesystem.c: line 323 (gtk_
file_system_get_folder): assertion `path != NULL' failed
 
(ethereal.exe:4294257511): Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkfilechooserdefault.c: line 7
05 (error_dialog): assertion `path != NULL' failed
 
(ethereal.exe:4294257511): Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkfilesystem.c: line 652 (gtk_
file_system_filename_to_path): assertion `filename != NULL' failed
I used to be able to use Ethereal just fine.  Now, with this updated version, I am constantly getting these ridiculous errors.  Is this happening just because Windows ME is not supported?  What should I do?
