[Winpcap-bugs] On Windows, try running windump as administrator

I definitely want to add a FAQ regarding vista and UAC (i'm just extremely busy right now). Regarding the "data area too small" error, this is usually not a symptom of a UAC problem, it can be due to a number of other factors, including some third party VPN clients.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Have a nice day

  When windump on Vista won't work (or users get the message  "The data area passed to a system call is too small"), why not suggest that they run windump as administrator (a one line addition to the FAQ)?

   

  Thanks for great software and all of your effort to create it.
