Do you mean blue screen?!? This is a kernel problem! Have you tried WinPcap 3.0 alpha? If WinPcap 3.0 does not solve your problem, well, you have found a bug :((( Although not very elegant, it is possible to use both the pcap and the Packet APIs together. If the PC crashes, it's some sort of bug in the kernel driver (applications, under NT/2k/XP/.NET, CANNOT crash the system, since they run in user mode, if a program causes blue screen, then a kernel driver used by that program is faulty).
