Wireshark and a 8-bit display on Windows server 2007?

0

I have installed Wireshark on a windows server 2007 SP2 but the Wireshark UI doesnt display correctly. The display settings are 8-bit with no option to change. Is wireshark not compatible with 8-bit display settings and/or is there a fix for this problem?

Thanks in advance

From the System Requirements: 800x600 (1280x1024 or higher recommended) resolution with at least 65536 (16bit) colors (256 colors should work if Wireshark is installed with the "legacy GTK1" selection of the Wireshark 1.0.x releases).

So if you must use a 256 color display you'll have to use a very old copy of Wireshark and use the GTK1 install option.
