I succesfully installed WinPcap 3.0 as I can sniff traffic with Windump.
I can even sniff using tethereal, rather strange if you ask me.
But when I try to use Ethereal itself this error appears:

The capture session could not be initiated (Error opening adapter: The System cannot find the file specified) 
Please check that you have the proper interface specified.
Does it help if you drop down the adapter list and select the same adapter that was initially displayed? I have had to do this for the last several versions.
