Wireshark 1.6.5 fails to run on Windows 7 x64 if AirPcap Nx is inserted during
Wireshark startup, or it freezes / fails displaying window with (null)
description text if AirPcap Nx is inserted later.
Does not happen on Windows 7 32bit with 32bit Wireshark.
Wireshark requires registry keys:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\AirPcap (Read for user)
HKLM\SOFTWARE\AirPcap\GlobalKeyStore (Read, Write for user)
which are created (with these permissions) when Wireshark is ran with
Administrative privileges. Subsequent runs as unprivileged user are successful.
Workaround:
1. Run Wireshark with Administrative privileges for the first time;
2. Create mentioned registry keys with said permissions.
