John,

    If you haven't got and answer yet, you're still out of luck, but 
I'll give you some data that might help.  I just installed nmap 3.50 on
a Compaq? HP? nx9010.  It has XP, and the networking environment is DSL
with a Linksys AP.  I have the XP personal firewall off.  I installed
the WinPcap_3.0.1_a.exe.  Then I clicked on nmapwin and installed it,
and cursed.  Then I unzipped nmap-3.50 and installed it.  I tried it.
It didn't work.  But, I did not get the same type of error as you. 
Rebooted, tried it, works! slow! Applied the registry
thing, by clicking on it.  Tried again, works! a little faster!  Here is
the output:

nmap -v www.google.com

I also scanned .53.99 four times and once it reported to be down

I hope this helps.  Mine was a fresh install btw.  Or rather, there were
no previous installlations of nmap or winpcap on this machine.
