Unless you have a Stratix V development kit with a USB-Blaster-II on it, you should be installing the USB-Blaster driver, eg.,

C:\software\altera\11.1sp1\quartus\drivers\usb-blaster

There were problems with 11.0's drivers. Try using the latest version of Quartus, i.e., 11.1sp1.

I know that 11.1sp1 works, so start with that.

Cheers,
