Cyclone IV GX FPGA Development board not recognised by PC when in PCIe slot

Just received a Cyclone IV GX FPGA Development kit and downloaded the demo c4gx_PCIe_gen1_x1.sof to it but when the PC boots up id does not recognise the board. I am unable to install a driver for it...

The card works in a Dell Windows 7 pc but cannot be installed due to not finding the drivers. The card also works in an XP pc but again no driver can be found. The example demo has a dev id of 0004 in the inf file but the dev id set on the PCI card is E001. Oddly the filename for the inf file is altpcie_perf_demo_e001.inf.

Anyone experienced this problem and know of the correct file to use? I tried changing the Dev ID in the file from 0004 to e001 this started to work in the sense it found the driver but then failed to load.

Cheers
