Hi Jeff,

No, the Vista is 32-bit.
Attached is Mac and Win about screens.

Thanks, just played thoroughly with all settings in all combinations - finally with some use of "Ignore the protection bit" - it is now decrypted under Win. The universe stability is uncompromised.

Is it possible that the Vista version is 64-bit?  Not all of the
libraries Wireshark uses (e.g., for decryption) are available on 64-bit
Windows.  If you cut-n-paste the info from the Help->About menu it can
give a lot of useful information.
