Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Issues opening WireShark to view existing capture files.

I have recently downloaded and installed WireShark version 1.2.0 (SVN Rev 28753) for evaluation in preparation to replacing version .99.5 (SVN Rev 20677).
 
If I do not have a valid network connection when I open the tool (to just look at existing trace files), I get a "Please tell Microsoft about this problem" pop-up.
 
I am running on Windows XP SP3, on a Lenovo T61 laptop with 2 gig of memory and three NICs WireShark can see. The three NICs are:
 
"Adapter for generic dialup and VPN capture"
"Intel(R) 82566MM Gigabit Network Connection"
"Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN"
 
If I connect to a network with any of my NICs, the application opens fine.
 
I have attached a doc file with screen shots of the information specific to this issue.
 
Thank you for your time.
