How to get Wireshark Running

Hello all,

I have been trying to run Wireshark on my Windows 8 pc and had no luck so far. Whenever I start it it says no interfaces. I googled numerous places giving information which was not helpful to me.

So the problem is related to the interface. Whenever I start Wireshark, it says "No interfaces found".

My OS: WIndows 8.1 x64 Things I tried to get it running:

1)Installing winpcap (4.1.3) separately. 2)Uninstalling and then reinstalling both Wireshark (2.4.2, x64) and winpcap (4.1.3) in Windows 7 compatibility mode. 3)Running cmd as an admin and typing "sc qc npf", "net stop npf", "net start npf". Then starting Wireshark and punching F5.

Any help would be appreciated.
