Switch to 16 bit or true colour. Ethereal uses the GTK library and the GTK library does not run on 256 colour displays.

Subject: [Ethereal-users] Gdk-Error **: Palettized display (256-colour) mode not supported on Windows. aborting...

I have just now downloaded the ethereal binary for WinNT. After installing when I am trying to run the program, it is telling:

 

"Gdk-Error **: Palletized display (256-colour) mode not supported on Windows. aborting..."

 

What should I do to run it successfully?

My machine's display property is 1024 X 768 (256 colour).

 

TIA,

Rajesh.
