Can't find JTAG Server

Why do I get the error message “ Can't find JTAG server” when trying to program by device.

You may receive this error when performing a JTAG operation such as programming, if the Altera JTAG server is not started. Open the Services Control Panel (for example, from the Start menu, point to Settings, then open the Control Panel, select Administrative Tools, and click on Services).

Look for the Altera JTAG server entry in the list. If the status column is not populated, then right-click Altera JTAG server and choose Start. When the Status of the Altera JTAG Server is set to Started, restart your machine.
