My first suggestion would be to upgrade to Windows 98, if that's at all
feasible, or Win98 SE. This solved most of my GPF problems on everything
that I run on a regular basis.
Failing that possibility, make sure that the ATI driver is the
latest-and-greatest. If it is, perhaps try backing out to the
next-most-recent driver.
Any other suggestions anyone? Technically, this is an OS problem, not an
Ethereal one, but are there any other obvious things to investigate here?
