Ok, good to know that it's an isolated case.

Yes.

Opening a file causes the error "The file <filename> could not be opened 
for some unknown reason."  I tried Moving my preferences & recent files 
out of the way to use the defaults and it still crashes.  It crashes 
when I clear all of the special options in the capture dialog too.  
Crashes with wired, wireless Ethernet or AirPcap adapter.

I'll have to learn to debug on Windows so I can figure this one out :)

Yes.
