byteblaster not showing up in hardware

Hi Elliot,

maybe a other driver is in conflict with the ByteBlaster driver.

Try to check the non PnP drivers in your installation.

I don't know the exact names of an english windows installation, because I have a german windows. But I try to explain how you can look at the non pnp-Devices.

You have to open the computer management console where you can see all devices which are installed on your computer. You have to open the device manager and then you have to view the hidden/suppresed/out faded/non PnP devices (in the menubar where you can choose "file / action / view / window / ?" (Hope this are the english names) in the view menue)

The you can see "non PnP driver" which are installed onto your computer. there should be the Altera ByteBlaster.

If there are more then one Altera driver, try to remove then and reinstall only the needed driver.

Hope this helps.
