[Winpcap-users] Wincap 4.0 is incompatible with Vista User Account Control

[Graeme & Julianne]

In order to run Winpcap 4.0 (even as a member of administrators group) you have to turn Vista's User Account Control off (refer Control Panel - User Accounts). The documentation states that v4.0 works with Vista, but doesn't mention anything about having to turn UAC off first. I'm not sure whether this is a bug, or simply a bit of documention that was overlooked. 

Attempting to (pre)start the winpcap driver with the runas command (eg runas /user:<admin user> "net start npf") didn't help. 8-(.
