Hi!

Is it possible to run Ethereal on a system with two Win2k partitions?

It seems that it is not possible to run E. on the second partition. We
have a working version of E. on the first partition. If we boot the
first p., everything works.
We tried several versions of E. with several versions of WinCap on the
second p. but none of these combinations works( when started on the
second p.)
The versions on the second p. are working; we tested that by starting
them with the first system (boot: first p.)

The error in detail: Few seconds after starting the .exe the programm
stops and an error message occur: error in etheral.exe

It seems that there is a problem with two win2k systems. We tried to
"cheat" and switched of the first harddisk with the first win2k system,
but it doesn't work.

Something in the programm might need "C:\" as the active partition,
which is not possible when booting the second p..
Perhaps there are some start options to change these properties?

I'm looking forward to hear from you!
