Can't add VLAN to NIC, NCS2Prov.exe crashes

[MWill33]

Windows 7 64-bit, Intel Gigabit CT with ProSet 19.1. When VLAN is added to this card "Intel ANS Virtual Adapter" is added to system, but then error is displayed "One or more vlan(s) could not be created. Please check the adapters status and try again".

At the same time an appcrash is logged to eventlog:

I tried adding vlan with prosetcl but that fails also.

Those "ghost" virtual adapters can not be uninstalled from Network Connections or from Device Manager. Only way to remove them is manually from registry... more info here http://www.intel.com/support/network/sb/cs-029916.htm Network Connectivity — Unable to uninstall Intel� Network Connections, Intel� PROSet, or teams

I removed drivers and reinstalled them, same thing.

I tried the card in another machine, with same ProSet 19.1 and I had no problems creating VLANs.

All drivers should be the latest. I believe that is an access violation exception, but what was going on... verbose logs anywhere ?

I tested also with the oldest drivers available, Proset 18.5 and behaves the same:
