Problem with GetAdaptersInfo

I have a problem using the GetAdaptersInfo funtion on Delphi 2010 on Windows 7. The following code works fine and returns the adapter names/descriptions to the memo when compiled using Delphi 2007 on Windows Vista. When compiled using Delphi 2010 on Windows 7 it returns blanks or garbage (output below). Are there any compatibility problems using GetAdaptersInfo on Delphi 2010 or Windows 7? Heres some sample code that replicates the problem and the output for it, thanks for any help.

Code:

unit SDIMAIN;

interface

uses Windows, Classes, Graphics, Forms, Controls, Menus,
Dialogs, StdCtrls, Buttons, ExtCtrls, ComCtrls, ImgList, StdActns,
ActnList, ToolWin;

type
TSDIAppForm = class(TForm)
StatusBar: TStatusBar;
Button1: TButton;
Memo1: TMemo;

procedure Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
private
{ Private declarations }
public
{ Public declarations }
end;

var
SDIAppForm: TSDIAppForm;

implementation


uses about, IPHlpAPI, IPTypes, SysUtils;

{$R *.dfm}

procedure TSDIAppForm.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
pAdapterInfo: PIP_ADAPTER_INFO;
AdapterInfo: IP_ADAPTER_INFO;
Status: DWORD;
BufLen: DWORD;
Buf: String;
I: integer;
begin
BufLen := sizeof(AdapterInfo);
pAdapterInfo := @AdapterInfo;
Status := GetAdaptersInfo(nil, BufLen);

pAdapterInfo := AllocMem(BufLen);

Status := GetAdaptersInfo(pAdapterInfo, BufLen);

while (pAdapterInfo <> nil) do
begin
Memo1.Lines.Add('Description: ' + pAdapterInfo^.Description);
Memo1.Lines.Add('Name: ' + pAdapterInfo^.AdapterName);
Buf := '';
for I := 0 to pAdapterInfo^.AddressLength - 1 do
Buf := Buf + '-' + IntToHex(pAdapterInfo^.Address[I], 2);
Delete(Buf, 1, 1);
Memo1.Lines.Add('MAC address: ' + Buf);
Memo1.Lines.Add('IP address: ' + pAdapterInfo^.IpAddressList.IpAddress.S);
Memo1.Lines.Add('Gateway: ' + pAdapterInfo^.GatewayList.IpAddress.S);
Memo1.Lines.Add('DHCP enabled: ' + IntTOStr(pAdapterInfo^.DhcpEnabled));
Memo1.Lines.Add('DHCP: ' + pAdapterInfo^.DhcpServer.IpAddress.S);
Memo1.Lines.Add('Have WINS: ' + BoolToStr(pAdapterInfo^.HaveWins));
Memo1.Lines.Add('Primary WINS: ' + pAdapterInfo^.PrimaryWinsServer.IpAddress.S);
Memo1.Lines.Add('Secondary WINS: ' + pAdapterInfo^.SecondaryWinsServer.IpAddress.S);
pAdapterInfo := pAdapterInfo^.Next;
end;
end;

end.
