[Ethereal-users] WinXP/2K crash on startup - No crash if GTK1 is used
Ethereal starts up without errors!!!
I'm able to run 0.10.6 w/GTK2 & no GTK-Wimp on Win2K (w/SP4).
I'm not capturing IPv6 packets. I have noticed on a couple of our
machines, we had to select the only NIC interface or the capture would
crash.
Let me know if more info is needed.
