There are problems with Ethereal 0.9.16 on WinNT4 with the screen set to 256 colours.
What happens if you exit Ethereal if you have any instances of Ethereal running, and then edit the preferences file (probably in %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Ethereal\preferences, where "%USERPROFILE%" is the setting of the USERPROFILE environment variable - it's probably going to be your "profile" directory under C:\winnt\profiles) and: 

	if the file exists:

		if it contains a line

			gui.toolbar_main_show: TRUE

		change TRUE to FALSE;

		if it doesn't contain a line like that, add a line

			gui.toolbar_main_show: FALSE

	if the file doesn't exist, create it, and put in a line

		gui.toolbar_main_show: FALSE

Then try running Ethereal again.
