Hello everyone,

First, excuse me from my earlier message, I sent it by mistake.

I tried to install Wireshark 1.0.7 on my Windows Vista using the windows installer. When it got to the WinPcap installation phase, an error message appeared:

"An error occured while installing the Microsoft Network Monitor Driver (NetMon) (0x800F0203).
You will be able to use WinPcap on standard network adapters, but not on Dialup connections and VPNs.
Please contact the WinPcap team <winpcap-team@xxxxxxxxxxx>.
The installation will now continue."

Then, after restarting my computer, and opening Wireshark, the following error message appeared:
 
"This application has failed to start NPPTools.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix the problem."

Then, I downloaded WinPcap alone, and installed it. It detected that I already have it installed, so i forced the installation.
I then opened Wireshark, this time the window opened, but with an error message (again):

"The NPF driver isn't running. You may have trouble capturing or listing interfaces".

And indeed, there were no interface to select. What do you think should be done to solve this problem. I am using Windows Vista SP1 (32-bit) on an HP Pavilion dv6700 Notebook PC and I am planning on capturing from my wifi interface. Thank you.
