I was using Wireshark without any problem. Then I installed Symantec Endpoint
Protection version : 11.0.6200.754

Not sure because of this or not. Now when I say capture, I get above error. I
tried running without promiscous mode, still the problem exists. Disabling
endpoint protection is not solving this either. Therefore I'm not sure this is
100% due to endpoint.
