All, great program! My team and I have been using the program for over a year and aren't looking back - in fact, we are very excited by the newest features contained with v 0.10.6 on our Windows 2000 laptops with WinPcap 3.0. However, the program crashes for some of the users at startup. 
But it doesn't crash for others?
We get an error generated (jpeg attached) and have tried various upgrade paths (from 10.5 and from 10.5a as well as older versions) and with and without WinPcap installed. Regardless of the configuration the laptops that can run 0.10.5 can't run 0.10.6. Any help addressing this apparent instability would be greatly appreciated.
We need more information about the way you installed ethereal on those computers which cannot run Ethereal 0.10.6. 
Did you choose GTK2 or the legacy GTK1 version of ethereal 0.10.6?
Did you install GTK-Wimp?
Did you uninstall the old Ethereal before installing ethereal 0.10.6?
Uninstalling Ethereal first may help.

Lars
