First, use the "Find" option (or the "Search" option, or whatever the
"find files with these names" option is called) under the "Start" menu,
to make sure there's only one file named "wpcap.dll" on your system.

If there isn't, un-install WinPcap, do the "Find" again, and delete all
the other ones you find, and then re-install WinPcap.

Then, if Ethereal still doesn't work, try downloading WinDump:

	http://netgroup-serv.polito.it/windump/

and try capturing with that.

If that can't capture, either, it's a WinPcap problem, not an Ethereal
problem; report it to
