Odd nmap behavior under Windows Vista Business

I'm trying to get nmap running on Windows Vista Business
on this new laptop I'm saddled with.  I downloaded the
current stable installer for Windows which installed
nmap and winpcap 3.1.  In an administrator cmd window, I do
  C:\Program Files\Nmap>nmap paper
  WARNING: Could not import all necessary WinPcap functions.  You may
  need to upgrade to version 3.1 or higher from http://www.winpcap.org.
  Resorting to connect() mode -- Nmap may not function completely

   Starting Nmap 4.20 ( http://insecure.org ) at 2007-08-29 16:44
   US Mountain Standard Time
   ...

I get a pop up telling me npptools.dll cannot be found so something
did not start (no indication as to what).  However, I think that's
related to the WinPcap grumbling from nmap.  I did some googling which
suggested installing Microsoft Network Monitor which I did, but that
didn't seem to create the npptools.dll.  Has anyone found a fix for
this?

Thanks,
