I was trying to do some captures of an access point on startup.  Wireshark and
tshark both kept crashing and complaining about some problem that had to be
reported to microsoft.  I was connected to a span port on a cisco 3750 switch. 
I even tried to assign a static ip address and still received the error.  I
uninstalled and reinstalled Wireshark 1.2 with no resolution in the problem. 
If I downgraded to 1.0.8, the problem no longer occurs.  Screen captures and
other info attached.
