Hi William. Please send the output of running
        nmap --iflist
        WinDump -D
You can get the WinDump program from http://www.winpcap.org/windump/install/.

Make sure you are running Nmap in an elevated command prompt.

Also please try it with the official WinPcap 4.0.2 installer, available
at http://www.winpcap.org/install/default.htm. Remove the Nmap winpcap
from "Add or Remove Programs" first, then run the installer.
