I don't know.

1. Please provide the complete output of a 'wireshark -v'.

2. What kind of adapter(s) are you using ?

3. Are you using any firewall or other software on your PC which might 
   somehow be interacting with your network stack.

4. What happens if you actually start a capture.
   Do you see the traffic "from what was already started" ??

5. Please configure wireshark to open a console window, restart wireshark
   and let us know if any error messages appear in this window 
   when you open the 'start capture' dialog window (and when you 
   start a capture).

   Edit ! Preferences ! User Interface ! Open a Console Window ! Always
