If you have the Nios II EDS installed open up the Nios II command shell and type this: "jtagconfig" and report back what it prints. Also make sure to click the "Hardware Setup" button and check to see if the USB blaster is showing up in the dialog box. Make sure you install the tools with administrative privileges and make sure any antivirus software running in the background is disabled during the installation process.
