|I just installed  Ethereal on my Toshiba 1555 cds Laptop.
|The Laptop is running Windows 2000 and the Lan PDC is NT 4.0.
|When I attempt to run Ethereal I receive the following errors
|in a dos screen: 
|<ethereal.exe:684>: Gdk-warning **: gdk_win32_pix
| Map_nnew:depth 16 doesn't match display depth 15. 
|This message repeats itself 15 times in the dos screen before
|Ethereal loads.  also is I close the dos screen Ethereal
|closes as well. 

This warning is from the Win32 GTK+ GDK interface Ethereal uses. Those
warnings seem to pop up every now and then; although they are annoying, they
are harmless. You are probably running Windows in 15-bit colors, which seems
*not* to be supported (at least not without warnings showing up all the
time) by the GDK of the graphical GTK+ interface used by Ethereal.

Olivier
