Here are the labs instructions:

In the next dialogue box point the wizard to the drivers which can be found in your Quartus installation directory under "<install directory>\11.0\quartus\drivers\usb-blaster".

I notice looking through the INI file that the Cyclone IV is not listed.

[Strings]

MAYBE this is the problem? Any idea where the Proper driver may be because it would seem that this driver isn't it?

Actually if someone knew the string for the BeMicro-SDK I could edit the INI and get it working.

As a side note It appears I was not correct about 64 bit support for Quartis II, as my version is the web edition it is not per se 64 bit supported. The paid version would be though. If I fogot to mention it is the web edition that the instructions informed me I was to install that is not 64 bit supported I am sorry. Like I said I followed the directions.
