byteblaster not showing up in hardware

Used a lot of time dealing with this problems, and yes the answer is to change the AlterByteBlaster services to the right one as allready described - forget about messin´ around with the kernal drivers. To find the name of service of the PCI card ( not allways NmPar) open the device manager > Ports> (our PCI card name). First check that the port number is LPT1 if not change it to LPT1 in the port setting TAB. After this open the TAB "Details" and select "service" from the pull down list. Here you find the name of the sevice you need to copy/paste to the RegEdit as allready described. Could add that after goofin´around for several hours trying to solve this problem I had to remove all byteblaster drivers from the device manager and start all over again to get rid of an error code 82 in the quartus SW. So my advise if you face problems with Quartus not been able to se your ByteBlaster is to open the device manager, in the "View" menu activate "Show hidden devices". Find your installation(s) of the byteBlaster driver in the nonPnP devices and uninstal it. Restart and change the RegEdit as above described - then indstall the ByteBlaster driver again - this worked for me:)
