Prior to installing COMODO Firewall Pro, Wireshark worked fine (at least a day
before that).  After I installed CFP, I got gdk errors and an abnormal Runtime
termination.  I don't believe I can attach the screen shots I have of those
message boxes, so I will type it all (below).

I'm running 32-bit Windows XP.

title:  Error
message:
Gdk-ERROR **: _gdk_visual_init: unsupported BITSPIXEL: 0
aborting...
OK button

title:  Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
message:

Program: C:\Program Files\Wireshark\wireshark.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
