Twice now I ran wireshark (in non promiscuous mode) for approx 1 1/2 hours. When I tick "stop" the data compiles until about 15% and then I get an error window that reads "Out of Memory" Wireshark must close " (or something like that).   I lose the entire capture.

Im running WinXP SP2 with 1 gig ofRAM. Is the problem due to low RAM or is it something else?  How can I avoid this in the future? How does wireshark make use of memory while its running?

Thanks
Dave
