Hi,

It would be nice not to have to guess for the platform/OS you're using.
What does windump do for you?

Thanks,
Jaap

I have installed the latest versions of Wireshark (1.2.6) and WinPcap 
(4.1.1).  When I start a capture the screen goes black but for a white 
cursor. This is Dumpcap, which seems to be used in stead of WinPcap.  I
can 
bring back the desktop by pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL and Wireshark is
capturing 
packets.  I have used Ethereal/Wireshark for years without any problems.

I have checked with msinfo32 that WinPcap (npf) is running.

What's going on? Is this a configuration issue?

I have also tried to go back to older versions of both programs and the
same 
thing happens.

Grateful for an explanation.
