Hi all,

I'm using Win7 64 bits on my new professional laptop. I bought the MAX V CPLD Dev kit and I have the same kind of problem.

The driver is well installed with 11.1 sp2 build 259, see IM1.jpg but the USB Blaster is not detected.

I've returned the dev kit and got another one -> same problem.

I've just tried the solution of "chnaideur", I've removed the "old" drivers, installing those on the zip file, then downloaded the 11.1 sp1 programmer, unfortunately after installing the driver when I tried to start the programming software -> blue screen !!!

I'm not a beginner with all these stuff, what's going on with these driver?

Regards,

Olivier
