Unable to use nmap on Windows XP and 2000

I downloaded the nmapwin_1.3.0.exe from www.insecure.org and installed per documentation. I can not get nmap or nmap win to function on Windows 2000 or Windows XP. In both nmap and nmapwin report "(0 hosts up)" no matter what I do. It does not return immediately but takes about 30 seconds when scanning a single IP with default settings. Enabling windows trace etc show that all is well. I find the following error in the windows XP event log (Similar error is in Win 2000) Event Type: Error Event Source: Service Control Manager Event Category: None Event ID: 7000 Date: 10/23/2002 Time: 2:09:01 PM User: N/A Computer: MASHCRAFT-L Description: The Netgroup Packet Filter service failed to start due to the following error: The system cannot find the path specified. For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. I have read the docs. I found that the system path had c:\program files\nmap\\bin and changed to c:\program files\nmap\bin. I have verified that packet.dll and wpcap.dll exist. XP does not provide system info as instructed. Win 2000 shows npf as stopped. I have uninstalled wpcap and reinstalled. Any ideas on where to go next. Thanks, Mike
