BeMicroSDK nio2 example error - No Nios II target connection paths were located

It might be related, the anti virus on the xp machine is causing the EDS hanging, on opening the Run Configuation screen, where i posted my original question of not being able to locate the device.

In the previous attempt where the device was not found, i have the av turned off (becuase its real time shield was triggered on installing the micium uprobe so for a smooth ride i turned the whole av off). The screen load ok but the device never show up.

This morning i have the xp rebooted, turned off anti virus and started EDS. The device can be found.

And then turned on the av, restart EDS, and that screen hang. It hang so bad nothing but a hard reset helped.
