Did you try with Quartus? if you're not recompiling, then qaurtus (up to V9) should work just fine.

Hi
Thanks for the info, haven't tried Quartus. it's good to know that it gives us another option for trying out reprogramming the FPGA. We won't be recompiling as the design is mature.
Just to re-iterate one of the original questions, is it possible to 'lock-out' any damaged sections of the FPGA? I realise that this would mean recompiling but our biggest problem is replacing the FPGA, we can afford to do it, but don't want to have to send it away to be done if we can help it. Though even as I type this I'm thinking that it would cost more to get someone up to speed on the software as opposed to the cost of a 3rd party rework!
In any event we will need to be able to reprogram so this has been a useful post for us.
Cheers All
