Sounds good.  I'll keep playing around with it.  I like challenges :-)

I noticed the initial poster didn't report a kernel error so I'll post mine:

URLSNOOPER caused an exception c0000026H in module KERNEL32.DLL at 0167:bffc04d4.

update - Found a site full of exceptions and meanings:
C0000026h – Exception code used by the system during exception handling. This code might be used if the system encounters an unexpected return from a handler. It is also used if no Exception Record is supplied when calling RtlUnwind.

Thanks Mouser.

In FileMon I noticed there were "notfound" results for a file called "lixtheme.dll"  This file is not in the main program's file folder, nor is it anywhere on the computer.  There were "notfound" results for some components; being they were not located in the same folder as the program but were later found succesfully in the windows system folder.

Before the third and final error, which is the kernel32 error, urlsnoop has requested the path "C:\windows\win.ini" for seek and reading though I found no entry in win.ini for urlsnoop.  I was thinking that wouldn't be necessary since the program writes an ini file all it's own in it's own folder to save settings.

I saved the log file if you would like to examine it.

edit-  I ran FileMon again and the win.ini wasn't shown before the error.  Now I don't have any clues.

I'm getting the same error.  The error dialog comes up three times, twice for the program and one in kernel32.dll.  The program will work fine the first time but after that it won't.

I have a few programs that exclusively use winpcap and they work fine: wmrecorder and two packetanaylizers.  I'm not able to find the problem but from the errors I had received I'm thinking maybe the program may not be totally 98 compatible.  Ususally you would get an error about a missing export or entry point but not in this case, which would indicate a possible incompatibility with OS's.

I'm on 98 and don't prefer to switch although the highest I will go is win 2000.  I am comfortable with 98 and I don't have as many problems as a lot of people have, I know my sysytem like the back of my hand.  For what I do, 98 works for me and it's small, fast and stable for me.  I don't like XP, home or pro, at all.

If I can find anything related to this problem I'll post back.  In situations like these type of errors, usually it is a compatibility issue of some form.
