Ethereal-users: [Ethereal-users] Ethereal crashing
Note: This archive is from the project's previous web site, ethereal.com. This list is no longer active.
I've been using Ethereal for a very long time, but only with recent
versions have I incurred any difficulties. Seems that somewhere around
version 0.10.5 or so, Ethereal would no longer open as it crashes on
start-up with 0.10.6 and a few minor-version numbers lower than that.
The machine in question runs Windows 98 (not SE) and will crash with
atleast 0.10.6 every time it is started; I thought for some reason this
was because of its saved working directory and the amount of captures I
have saved there, but even after re-installing it would continue to
crash. I'm pretty sure this started befoer 0.10.6 and I had upgraded to
0.10.6 hoping that the problem would no longer exist, but it does and I
just haven't gotten around to writing about it yet. However, I just
tried uninstalling 0.10.6 and installing 0.10.0 which seems to work just
fine.
Any suggesitons?
Thanks.
