Hello,

I have the same question about useing Ver 0.10.2 as ver 0.10.1 in Windows 2000 proffesional .
 I had installed ethereal 0.10.2  or 0.10.1and wincap 3.0 or 3.1. after I run ethereal ,I could  not capture and save packets !!!
When i captuerd or saved packets  ,there was a info "Glib-error**:gmem.c:140:failed to allocate 2147483649 bytes aborting ...". After I pressed  "confirm" button ,there was another info "Runtime reeor!  program:c:\progrem files\ethereal\ethereal.exe abnormal program termination".then After I pressed  "confirm" button ,ethereal was closed !!!
I can not solve it ! can you help me ?

Best regards!
