The error description will contain additional values as shown in the following screen shot:
Resolution
To resolve the issue, upgrade the environment to PVS 7.6.
In PVS 7.6, the Windows 2008 R2/Windows 7 and 8 target devices use a new driver. The new driver supports re-initialization, and therefore the solution is that the BNIStack driver will register with Winsock on the second registration, when the NIC miniport is ready at a later callback time.
In previous versions of PVS, the Windows 2008 R2/Windows 7 target devices still use the old driver which does not support re-initialization, so the fix cannot be ported to previous versions of PVS.Problem Cause
This error can be caused by some modern Network Card Drivers which have a lengthy initialization cycle. This causes the NIC miniport instance to not be ready when initializing the BNIStack driver.
