Wireshark · Ethereal-users: Re: [Ethereal-users] Illegal page fault

[Bruce Rainwater <brainwater@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Because I was getting a similar error when trying to start ethereal on my
Win ME computer (ethereal has caused an error in LIBGLIB-2.0-0.dll ) I
tried the suggestion below and installed 10.5a, the program does now run
but during startup I get a DOS window with two lines:
both lines say the same thing -- <ethereal.exe:4291379707>: 
Gtk-CRITICAL ***: file gtkwindow.c line 3107 <gtk_window_resize>:
assertion 'height > 0' failed

The program seems to run ok after that and I can start and stop
capture
