Thanks to the responses on the list, I got rid of the error message:

> error opening c:\Program Files\Ethereal\asn1/default.tt

I did then get the same error reported by Stuart MacDonald:

> I can clear the entry fine, but hitting OK causes a

To fix this...

Edit -> Preferences -> User Interfaces -> Font

Once I specified a font here I stopped getting the error when trying to fix the "asn1/default.tt" issue.

However,  this font only seems to get used when viewing packet captures.  How do I change the font size for menus and dialogs.  Everything is so tiny I can barely read it...  despite having brand new bifocals =).  Switching from 1024 x 768 to 800 x 600 did not help.

I do not know if this is relevent...  when I installed (on Win NT v4.0 SP6a) the setup components list had Ethereal GTK1 ticked (but not changeable) and Ethereal GTK2 could not be ticked.
