Wireshark is faulting on Windows 7

0

Hi - I installed version 1.6.1, enabled WinPCAP to start automatically and restarted windows 7. When I run Wireshark as administrator (or any user) it crashes. The following error is in the event log. The only thing about my environment of note is that I have VMware installed which adds some network drivers. Any suggestions?

Faulting application name: wireshark.exe, version: 1.6.1.38096, time stamp: 0x4e2498fd Faulting module name: libglib-2.0-0.dll, version: 2.26.1.0, time stamp: 0x4d176f2c Exception code: 0x40000015 Fault offset: 0x000559a5 Faulting process id: 0x1e40 Faulting application start time: 0x01cc682c5d48573a Faulting application path: C:Program FilesUtilitiesWiresharkwireshark.exe Faulting module path: C:Program FilesUtilitiesWiresharklibglib-2.0-0.dll Report Id: 9ee9202a-d41f-11e0-bc65-005056c00008

Uninstalling and re-installing wireshark (keeping WinPCAP) resolved the problem.
