Can Wireshark be used on Wins 8.1?

0

Hi,

Previously I am using Wireshark on wins 7 and it was working perfectly on my application. Recently tried on wins 8.1 and it gives me this error:

system cannot capture network packets because there is confusion of which adapter to use

What does this error actually mean? I have tried to switch off the WiFi but failed.

Please advise. Thanks!

what is you Wireshark version and where did you download it from?

Reason: I can't find that error message neither in the source code of Wireshark nor in the code of WinPcap !?!.

Can you please add a screenshot of that message?
