When I start up Wireshark, why do I see this message?
'The NPF driver isn't running. You may have trouble capturing or listing interfaces.'
Matthew Simoneauclosed The NPF driver isn't running. (I don't necessarily need NPF unloaded when Wireshark terminates, as long as it does not auto load during the next reboot.) As a general rule of thumb, the less stuff you load during boot up the better. Thanks (26 Feb '14, 22:16) IfM. I know that Wireshark checks the status of the NPF driver before getting that far, so I thought maybe I should verify it manually in a Command Prompt. You can see that the Service Control Manager says it is RUNNING. Wireshark® is a network protocol analyzer. It lets you capture and interactively browse the traffic running on a computer network. It has a rich and powerful feature set and is world’s most popular tool of its kind. One comment that Wireshark doesn't need npf if running as admin has to be pure BS. Npf is the WinPCAP driver!! So, the focus here needs to be in getting the WinPCAP driver installed and running in a system that seems to not want to do that.

You need to run Wireshark with administrator privileges.
- Exit Wireshark.
- Find Wireshark on the Start Menu.
- Right-click on it.
- Select 'Run as administrator',
- Click 'Yes' in the user account control dialog.

It's really best not to run Wireshark as Administrator. See here for an explanation - bugs in the dissector can do a lot more damage when it runs as administrator. A better solution (offered here) is the following:
Net Start Npf
- Open a command prompt (cmd.exe) using the 'Run as administrator' option
- Run the command sc qc npf
You will see output similar to this:
- If it looks like this, you will need to start the service using sc start npf
so that it displaysSTATE : 4 RUNNING
. - To start the service automatically in future, use sc config npf start= auto
(that space after the equals sign is important)

Run 'cmd.exe' as Administrator, and go
Npf Driver Isn't Running Wireshark Windows 7
then
To make sure type 'sc qc npf', you will get the output:
To make it back type:

RTI Protocol Analyzer with Wireshark uses the Windows Packet capture (WinPcap) driver called NPF driver when it starts to capture live data. Loading the driver requires Administrator privileges.
To cllear this error, you need to open the file called npf.sys which is located at
in Windows 7. Follow the below guide to open the npf.sys file. Rapala pro bass fishing game pc.

Firstly, make sure that you have installed winpcap, if you didn't install it, just go to its official site and download it for installation: http://www.winpcap.orgNext, find cmd.exe which is located at
in Windows 7, right click and 'Run as administrator'. When it opened, input net start npf, then the NPF driver is successfully opened. That is,the file npf.sys is opened. At last, restart Wireshark, it will be OK now.
Note:
If you are using Linux or Ubuntu, after WinpCap is installed, use the common ' >$ su Administrator ' to switch to the highest authority account, then input net start npf .
