Index outside bounds of array when logging in

I have two virtual servers (old and new) and my local PC all running SSMS 2014 with no service packs. When I look at Help/About the version numbers are the same on all three. All three can connect to instances of SQL server on our domain. We also connect to a SQL server hosted by a vendor outside our domain.

On the old server and on my local PC I can connect to this hosted instance. On the new virtual server I get the error "Index was outside the bounds of the array. (System.Data)". I Googled this error and it seems as though it is a generic error that comes up for a lot of things other than SSMS logins. In fact, as a programmer I've experienced this error. I just don't know how it relates to SSMS logins.

The settings for the configuration managers are the same except the client protocols (e.g. TCP/IP, Named Pipes/ Virtual Memory) are in different order, but all are enabled.

Any idea what could be causing this?

why no service packs? I wouldn't waste any time on this until you apply all available SPs

Thanks, but unfortunately, it is not up to me. Regardless, if it was an SP issue it would be effecting all three and it's not.
