People who want to avoid installing a complete version of Quartus just for the drivers should download the Quartus 11.1sp1 stand alone programmer from here:

https://www.altera.com/download/software/prog-software/11.1sp1

...though it does take up roughly 800MB once installed!! Otherwise use the attached drivers

Works like a charm!

-Uninstall the old driver on USB blaster (also select Delete driver software)

-Remove the old drivers folder and copy the folder extracted from the zip

-Reinstall the drivers and you are good to go!

Thanks chnaideur!
