But there's no remote computer as such. Everything is happening on my local
workstation.

The message simply says, that there is no error message available for
this event. If all is well, you may want to ignore it. You can also
uninstall the disk/floppy disk from the Device Manager and restart
Windows to reinstall the drivers. This may solve the problem.
