on win98 first edition i get the following error message dialog at the start of the capture:

The file "D:\tmp/etherXXXXa07251" could not be opened: Uncompression error: buffer error.

this happens every time AND althouth the capture packet counts are updating none are displaying and do not display after stopping the capture.

i did NOT specify a capture file.

this *appears* to have an incorrect folder separator character "/" for windows.

any ideas on how to get this fixed?

thanks,
rich
