My snort XP box was working great and now this error? I have acid and mysql installed. How can I resolve this? What is the cause? I even reinstalled snort!

C:\Snort>snort -c etc\snort_conf -i 1

Does the file C:\snort\etc\snort_conf exist?

Are you sure? (make sure windows isn't hiding an extension from you. Use dos dir or make sure explorer's "hide extensions of known filetypes" mis-feature is disabled)

Does it work if you specify a full path:

snort -c C:\snort\etc\snort_conf -i 1
