What have you got in display options ?� I have this problem frequently trying to capture intermittent voip issues that might not occur for days.
I had much more success unticking update list in real time, and ticking hide capture dialog.� The only way to see it is capturing is the status bar counter, watching the packet counter go up.� That would then run for days.
Updating list in real time brought it to its knees pretty quick.
I usually go for 50mb files because they're easy to work with and can be joined together easy enough if reqd.

We have
been trying to do a long running capture and we cannot keep Wireshark up and
running. WS is up to date. We are monitoring 1 port and writing out 100MB
files. Each file is filled in a 2-4 hours. WS will not stay up forever. It dies
every so often. We are trying a larger buffer size.
�
Are there
any known issues?

Cheers, Bob
