You are running an older version.  The latest stable is 4.20.

Which has this:
Fixed (I hope) the "getinterfaces: intf_loop() failed" error which
  was seen on Windows Vista. The problem was apparently in
  intf-win32.c of libdnet (need to define MIB_IF_TYPE_MAX to
  MAX_IF_TYPE rather than 32). Thanks to Dan Griffin
  (dan(a)jwsecure.com) for tracking this down! If anyone still has
  trouble running Nmap on Vista, please let us know.

Give it a try http://insecure.org/nmap/download.html and see if it
fixes your issues.
