Solution:

The problem can be replicate usually on new Dell computers since their mother board contains a PCI device with function #7.

To replicate the problem, you can run the HWTEST application from the Program Files\Geotest\HW from the command prompt:

HWTEST pci

After running it you will see endless list of PCI devices displayed in the command window.

Geotest fixed this issue with HW (hardware access device driver) v2.11. This driver is shipped with every Geotest product that was released after December, 3 2002.
