Now my Byteblaster2 is running with my PCI parallel port adapter. The problem was during QuartusII installation the field "DependIOnService" of AlteraByteBlaster (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\AlteraByteBlaster) in Windows registry was filled in to be dependent from service "parport". When I installed my PCI parallel port adapter (MosChip chipset) the service installed to take care of parallel port was NmPar. Since I pointed "DependIOnService" of AlteraByteBlaster to "NmPar I dont have problem using Byteblaster2 anymore.
