Help. Hardware tutorial does not run on Cyclone II Starter Dev Kit

--- Quote Start ---

I followed the Hardware tutorial all the way through and everything in both Quartus and IDE compiled correctly. The programmer says it succesfully the *time_limited.sof file even though I did get a dialog box that forced me to press cancel with the message "Click Cancel to stop using Open Core Plus IP." Perhaps that is the problem.

Are you hitting the CANCEL button when you get the above message? Do Not click on the CANCEL button and run the IDE keeping the Quartus II programmer as it is (with the CANCEL dialog box). If this does not solve your problem, please elaborate some more.
