Hi Dave,

In the Device Manager section I see a Yellow Question mark with USB-Blaster written besides it, which implies the device drivers were not installed. I tried to point the location where quartus is installed but still it still says device drivers not installed.

Should I reinstall the quartus software or should I get the drivers online ?

The problem is that the Quartus 2 license is nodelocked to a system which is not supposed to be connected to the internet. So I am not able to direct it to automatically search and install from the net.

Can I connect the board to a system with internet - automatically let the system download drivers and transfer it to the system in which quartus is present and install it ?
