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...

It's a corporate network and Windows 7 is the only OS allowed.

Your Linux driver development machine does not need to be on a network ... :)

For example, why not have your PCIe card plugged into a desktop running Linux that is not connected to the network, and your Quartus development machine running Windows 7 and connected to the corporate network (for accessing the Quartus license server). No problem, right?

Cheers,
