The cause of this error is the Galil device not being present in Device Manager, which forces the use of the BPM driver (not recommended or preferred).
The solution is to install the Galil device in Device Manager, which then allows use of the API driver (recommended and preferred).

Close BPWin.
Go to Start/Control Panel/Add Hardware.
