When upgrading something like winpcap is can be crucial to reboot excessively. To spell it out, you really must reboot, uninstall, reboot, install new version, reboot again. Also make sure no other background programs are running during uninstall/install. You might want to even reboot, uninstall, reboot, install 3.1-beta, reboot, uninstall to ensure that its uninstalling 3.1-beta, reboot, install 3.1-beta again, reboot.
If you are using GIT 0.97 make sure its not trying to install winpcap at the end, since it includes 3.0.
No special services need to be running, I believe winpcap operates at a lower system level then simply services. It operates more as a network card driver, only hidden and deaper and hooked into system more.
