RE: [Ethereal-users] Problems with starting ethereal

Cristina,

 

I run Ethereal 0.9.3 with WinPcap 2.2 on W2K without too much trouble. The crash in gdk_gc_copy is a function call associated with the GDK library used for graphic user interface part of the application. It is possible that GDK library is having problems calling the W2K GUI libraries. You may want to try one of the following

 

1. Try changing resolution or number of colours in Windows (I think GTK/GDK needs at least 256 though)

2. Try getting an updated graphics driver for you video card

 

It could also be that the problem has nothing to with the GUI. Someone from the Windows porting team may be able to ask the right questions so that you can provide more detailed info

Hello everyone!

 

After downloading ethereal 0.9.5 -setup and WinPcap 2.3, I installed both (my system is win2k). When I try to run ethereal, I get the following error:

The application, ethereal.exe, generated an application error The error occurred on 08/01/2002 @ 11:34:32.934 The exception generated was c0000094 at address 0081B7A0 (gdk_gc_copy)

Any idea of what is happening? I need to get ethereal up and running URGENTLY! Please help!

I thank you in advance.
