I tried the work around suggested by suv and it worked.
I did a bit of googling and found the following information
which I think you may want to read as well.
The thread has some code you can review to fix the problem
in XP and Vista using szDevice member..
Unfortunately a post that is further down the page describes a
bug that appears to be in Windows 7.
I suggest you read the whole page, it will unfortunately be
a bit discouraging.

- the file extension-errors.log can be ignored for the moment. It is not
actually a list of errors, it is just a list of possible external
packages which are not installed on your machine, none of which are
essential.
- the message : (inkscape.exe:5708: GLib-Critical **: g_convert: assertion 'str != NULL' failed
can also be ignored, I think, I've seen that a lot when running from DOS, I think it is harmless.
- am curious about the message : ** (inkscape.exe:5708): CRITICAL **: Inkscape::XML::Document*
sp_repr_read_file(constr gchar*, const gchar*): assertion
'Inkscape::IO::file_test( filename, G_File_TEST_EXISTS )' failed
did this happen when you first loaded Inkscape or did it happen when you
clicked on the menu item for Preferences?

Windows7 Pro x64 Crash on file/inkscape preferences
Status in Inkscape: A Vector Drawing Tool:
New
Bug description:
When attempting to open inkscape preferences, inkscape crashes and
shuts down.
If the preferences are set in the registry, you need to make sure that
you are using the proper method to access the 64 bit registry of
windows 7. You can find information regarding this on msdn and
codeproject.com
Make sure when you implement GPU in .49 that it can be disabled. My
GPU can be used this way, but it has a tendency to prevent screen
refreshing if done wrong. Found this out courtesy of Firefox 5.
Thanks for that tid bit.
